Breakfast was really good. They had either waffles or pancakes, they switched everyday. They also switch the breakfast meat everyday which was nice. They had the option of hot iced coffee which I think was a nice touch. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel location is perfect in my opinion.

Overall the stay was nice. The staff was amazing! Maria in the breakfast bar was very helpful (all staff was). Just wish the breakfast bar area was bigger/roomier as it gets crowded and tight pretty quick! But the food selection was great. My room was nice, and in a great area of downtown of walking distance. Only downside there is no pool, but other than that 10/10 stay
