Pros:

There's more than one way to the Hotel. They had some small over the counter needs in the lobby. The front desk help suggesting a good place to eat for dinner. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

I wasn't familiar with the area initially. So learning the traffic scheme was a need.

it was ok
Pros:

Went for breakfast at 635 (literally) and everything was gone. The waiting room was full of people, and there wasnt anything left. I realize this probably was due to the volume of people, but i couldnt wait, as i needed to get on the road

Cons:

coffee maker in my room was broken
loud people around me

Clean but not really comfortable
Pros:

It was clean and the room was well laid out and large.

Cons:

Could hear the upstairs neighbor all night long. Also there was a flashing light in the room all night long. Then the next morning the hot shower was barely warmer than I already was and couldn't get any hotter.
