Just adequate. Not my favorite
breakfast buffetsmall roomflickering lights
The breakfast buffet was acceptable, nothing special. Though it did the trick for a quick bite.
The room was quite small. There was no space to properly open my suitcase. Talk about inconvenient. Plus. The flickering lights were annoying, every time someone walked above, they went crazy.

The breakfast was super great, i loved all the options! the location was also really good. It was close to everything. the staff were very friendly and helpful.
the common areas looked a little worn, i noticed! my room seemed a bit dated too, especially the decor. finding parking was difficult as the hotel only had a few spots available.

small roommusty smell
The room I got was not what I expected. It was quite small and located downstairs (I really didn't like that). The bed felt a bit too soft for my liking. There was also a faint musty smell when I first entered the room, which wasn't very inviting.
