Place is clean and spacious in a good location. They discontinued breakfast which was a bit if an inconvenience because I didn’t have the time to get breakfast elsewhere. I booked through expedia and it currently says breakfast is included. Not sure if expedia is to blame or the hotel. Had I known breakfast was not an option, I would have planned accordingly.
