Room was great with a suite look. However there was a used soap still sitting in the bathroom soap dish. The immediate area was pretty sketchy-looking. The only restaurants were fast food places and we looked for blocks along E. Prien.

Towels in room were well used. They were very thin and scratchy on the body…..these had to be the lowest quality bath towels for a hotel in this price range. Continental breakfast was the worst I ever had. Bagels were hard and broke when you tried to split them with a knife. Eggs were sub-par and tasted fake and I have no idea what the sausage patties were made from. Did not have eggs prepared to fit the biscuits (which fell apart when you bit into them) so that you could make a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit to have as a breakfast sandwich. I have stayed at hotels that provided this type of egg on the continental breakfast buffet. The whole experience was sadly disappointing. I cannot recommend this property nor will I be staying here in future visits.
