we did not have breakfast or use the bar. As the hotel was undergoing renovations, the restaurant and bar were relocated to a small conference room which made more like a cafeteria or snack bar.

Didn't try the breakfast. The lobby and front is going thru a major renovation. You'll need to go up stairs and an elevator to get to your floor. Wouldn't recommend for folks who are less mobile. Room itself was very spacious, clean and comfortable.
