We had a late check-in and had no problems with the process it was fast and easy, so we were able to go straight to bed. The breakfast bar in the morning was good; they offered yogurt, muffins, oatmeal, and hard-boiled eggs. The room was clean and worked well for our one day stay. Most of all, the staff were super friendly and welcoming.
