The breakfast was limited and the tables aren't cleaned after a patron leaves (granted, this one was a slob). The building itself has seen better days, though some things have been updated. The TV was frustrating - you have to search for the input and it wasn't logical (HDMI has the TV channels, not "cable/antenna"), there is no channel list, there are scores of "ghost" channels (the ones that appear, but that you can't watch because you don't have the subscription) which wastes a lot of time, and then in the morning the sound didn't come on. The best thing was the staff - friendly, alert, responsive.

The staff was extremely friendly and the room was clean. However, the traffic noise was nearly unbearable. I understand that’s not the hotel‘s fault however, I would most likely not stay again.
