Kudos to the staff, room could have been better.

- I noticed the floor was a bit sticky, and when wearing socks the bottom of the socks was discolored. - Breakfast is not the "full fare", but I guess I should have researched that. They did have hard boiled eggs, but sometimes I would get one that was quite old. - The staff was great. I had a problem with my door, and it wound up to be a problem with the lock mechanism. The staff had to unlock the door each time I had to get into the room, and the staff was quick and very friendly to get it open. - But then again, the lock had a problem which required changing a battery. That got the lock working for 24 hours, but then the lock stopped working all together. The repair would take days - well past the time I would be leaving. - I was not expecting a high end hotel. It is an excellent value for the price, door lock problems not withstanding. I didn't think it was necessary to get mad at the staff - they were doing their very best to be sure I was happy, satisfied, and safe.

Great for fair price

Room was clean and quiet. The air conditioning worked well and everything was as expected. The breakfast appeared adequate but not fancy. It’s a block from a really nice breakfast restaurant that was amazing so we didn’t actually eat there. I would stay there again.
