Staff was nice. Locked out of room twice. Everyday I was billed a different price, when quoted specific price on line. FREE breakfast was not offered...I had to pay, and only one person greeting, seating and serving. Numerous clusters of homeless in the area. I would not choose to stay there again. Prices did not match the service.
