central Location is great
many choices friendly staff
i found the breakfast delicious, with many choices available. the staff were friendly, and they were attentive. the room was comfortable and accommodating. i liked the live music often playing in the bar.
the room walls are too thin, soundproofing is minimal. jazz from the pub downstairs was quite loud. conversations from the smoking area outside the window were easily audible. corridor noise was also intrusive.
