Would stay again, skip the breakfast though.
Pros:

Easy check in, secure parking, great location.

Cons:

The lighting in the room (1411) was a pain to fathom what switch did what.
Breakfast was a huge let down. We complained about the temperature of the hot food two out of three visits. No outcome of complaints were received.
A guest laundry would be great, even the Ibis has one!
