Pros:

全客室あったかどうかは分かりませんが、バスタブが付いていたのが嬉しかったです。湯船にゆっくり浸かってすっきりしました。窓から航空機とトロリーが見えて楽しめました。無料の朝食のポークソーセージが美味しかったです。

Okey stay
Pros:

The property was located centrally to where we were headed. The breakfast was good. It has a nice pool area that would be nice in warmer weather though my digital key couldn’t open it.

Cons:

It was under construction/renovation which we didn’t know. Paint smells, odors from the elevator work (hot metal or plastic?!) were unpleasant. Our room seems to be recently updated but the bathroom door doesn’t fit back in the frame so it makes a loud noise opening and closing. The water was having issues - there seemed to be air in the line both days. None of the plug ins on the nightstand or dresser work for our electronics. Use the actual wall outlets.

Okay, but wouldn't stay there again.
Pros:

I liked the proximity to Little Italy. Breakfast was always fresh with a nice variety, and free coffee was available all day, every day.

Cons:

For 3 days, there was no water for several hours. On the third day, we did not receive notice and were not able to shower before our dinner plans.

To był krótki, jednodniowy pobyt ale bardzo udany.
Pros:

Światna lokalizacja, blisko nadbrzeża i Little Italy, bardzo przyjazny personel, śniadania rewelacyjne z możliwością robienia gofrów, które lubię. Bardzo blisko lotniska i centrum !!!

Cons:

Pewnym kłopotem jest niewielka odległość od przejazdu tramwajowego i związany z tym hałas przy zamykaniu rogatek.
