The breakfast buffet had great variety. i found a good selection of fresh fruit and pastries there. the location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions. It was quite central. the room was also very clean and well-kept.

The elevators were quite slow and crowded at times. it made getting to and from my room a bit of a hassle. the gym was smaller than i expected. i noticed a limited selection of equipment. There was only one squat rack. It began around 7:30 am, disruptive.
