The hotel is convenient for shopping and for restaurants. The free breakfast was not the best. The egg omelet was horrible. If you leave your do not disturb sign on the door in the mornings for anytime they will not clean your room. Had to go get more towels, cups and coffee because there were only 2 towels and 2 cups in the room. Found frozen food in the refrigerator left by someone.
