The hotel is good. The breakfast is just ok. Why do hotels steam their scrambled eggs? They’ve got a cook right there they should remove that and their precooked turkey sausage. Otherwise good hotel.

The facilities were nice. The atmosphere was unique. Plentiful free breakfast included. Many convenient eating or shopping places within a reasonable (walkable) distance. I wish we couldn't hear the neighbors next to us with a locked adjoining door, but that's not too unexpected for a hotel.
