Pleasant and well located.
Pros:

The hotel was very nice. A little old fashion meaning the room. The bathroom had the old-style shower, no exhaust fan. I will stay there again. Staff was good, except, two front disk personnel appeared to have a problem smiling or even talking.

Cons:

Front desk personnel. Time to check mattress's.

Room was clean and comfortable, but as stated there could be some improvements!
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

The person at check in was not overly friendly! The breakfast was NOT satisfactory at all, you need more variety of hot, cold dishes as well as pastries. Ad stated breakfast included. It was FAR from a breakfast. I would not even call it a brunch.
An extra mirror on the wall would be helpful so people could be doing hair or makeup while others are taking a shower.
Garbage pick up way before dawn sounded like bombs going off! Will definitely wake you up EVERY TIME!
A partial refund would be nice!
