Solid stay near the Subway

convenient locationbreakfast selectionhelpful staffuseful microwave
I found the subway station a short walk. It was convenient FOR exploring various parts of the area. The provided microwave near the breakfast area was useful for quick meals. Breakfast had a good selection even though it was the same items each day. The staff was helpful.
The air conditioning unit was a bit noisy at night. It sometimes disrupted my sleep, a slight inconvenience.
