The room is very small, their breakfast was very worst, they are very sting don't put any fruits like no banana's or oranges or apples, nothing and no probiotic yogurts, there was no enough Oats also they don't even refill it even though it got finished by 8:00am which is so bad. I didn't see any kitchen staff was available there to help and no one was refilling. FYI their breakfast will finish at 9:00am i never seen and never heard that breakfast ends at 9:00am. One of the worst breakfast i had in any hotel in North America. Then their bedsheets started smelling bad. They barely provided one handwash bar in the bathroom for family of four which is very tiny one. I have no complaints for the front desk guy he was cool. Definitely i will not be coming back again.

Accommodated our early checkin which was a huge plus for us after our long flight! They forgot to let us know we needed to specifically request for housekeeping which was a bit of a downer. Otherwise - good staff/service and they serve breakfast which is super convenient to get a headstart to the morning.
