"The breakfast was delicious with plenty of great options to choose from. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which made the experience even better. The building is a bit older, and while the cleanliness was okay, it could use a little refreshing. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with excellent service and a wonderful breakfast!"
