varied breakfast constant availability
The breakfast was a real PLUS. I especially liked the availability of tea and coffee at all times. It was convenient.
the hotel is in a good location, however it can get NOISY. Rooms could use some updating as there were chipped paint.

underwhelming stay
small room sewage odor
the staff was indeed helpful.
the room was small, hardly allowing space to move around. the bathroom had a strange odor, almost like sewage. the stairs were also a struggle, especially with luggage, since there isn't an elevator.
