Easy to get to, location great. Breakfast was the standard hotel breakfast, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, fruit, waffles, toast. Bagels , yogurt, oatmeal, muffins, strong coffee. Locations was clean for the most part. I did find a plastic form on the floor by the bed and there were a few places on the walls in the bathroom that needed to be wiped down. Firm mattress and good water pressure in the shower.
