The breakfast was a HUGE highlight. there was a wide selection of items available, I noticed many fresh options. the staff was helpful. They kept things well-organized even during peak hours.
The room lacked proper soundproofing, it was an issue. Noises from outside were VERY audible especially in the morning. the bed mattress was not supportive. I did not sleep well.
