Lots of hype about this hotel. Granted it nicely renovated in a retro style. However the breakfast was over promoted and I was crestfallen. Sugary bakery products in a plastic bag that looked like they came out of a vending machine. Fresh fruit in a bowl was an apple or orange. We grabbed a coffee and left.
