Excellent breakfast
It is almost like an apartment hotel. A bit old. This is at least our 4th or 5th time staying there in the last 35 years. I didn't expect much for the breakfast, because it was ordinary in the past. But we were pleasantly surprised that there were plently of food and specially the hot food like egg, sausage, ham, harsh brown etc. You can even pick up prepacked breakfast and leave. It was well thought out. The chef appeared proud of his production. It was a busy dinning room for sure. Highly recommended.

4/10 Fair

Terribl!If you renovating and let customers know.
After booking with you, they charged me $25 per day to park. Would have been nice to know in advance. They wanted $100 security deposit that was promised to be returned. When I checked out , they could not give it back , because they claim they had not take it. So why take my credit card and punch it so many times? Also at 9 am they began drilling on top floor, so could not sleep in as planned. Check out was 11am. When I told lady at check out about noise at 11 , “when she asked how was everything?” She denied it was true, even how we could both hear bangin and drilling on the first floor. She said, “oh that just began 5 minutes ago” So I’m a liar. When I left my hotel room, came out of elevator, I was met with constructive workers with masks , there was dust everywhere. Where was my mask? I had to walk through all the sandblasting holding my breath. Way to go!

It was good, the only part I don’t like and was disappointed at was the fact that, there was no Netflix, the look like it was from the 1990’s, I couldn’t use the tv as it wasn’t operational, was disappointed.
