Pros:

Location was good, within walking distance to the downtown.

Cons:

The coffemaker kept leaking and they did not have a decaf option for coffee. The front desk had packages but they had to cut the filters to fit the size of the coffeemaker. I made due but just a suggestion to have decaf options.

Pros:

I liked the small fridge (and microwave, although I didn't use it THIS time) because I could bring along some fruit and decaf coffee. The hotel is centrally located , walking distance to a mall and a pleasant area for an early morning walk . The front desk staff were polite , informative and easy to understand.

Cons:

The pillows were large and very fluffy ; I like flatter pillows . Not exactly a deal breaker though.
