A decent stay

central location breakfast option stuck window missing coffee

The hotel has a great central location. It is close to many amenities. The staff were attentive and always on hand IF you needed anything. The breakfast had many options.

One of the rooms had a window stuck open. There was no coffee in the room. I discovered later there was no hot water.

missing coffee dirty bathroom

I was a bit disappointed. the staff seemed overwhelmed. the promised coffee in the room never materialized. i also noticed the bathroom wasn't as clean as i expected. there was hair on the floor and the shower had some mildew. it felt a little neglected. It's a shame.
