The hotel was well maintained overall. I was pleased that the front desk attendant permitted me in my room well before the usual check-in time. The breakfast was good. The only negative was the coffee maker in the room. Only decaffeinated coffee was offered. Also, the coffee maker didn't work, or I couldn't get it to work.
