Excellent location, worst hotel breakfast ever!

Great location and wonderful room upgrade. However, they were unprepared in time for breakfast in the morning so all the hot food was ice cold and the waffle iron wasn't heated. The only coffee was powdered instant coffee from a machine and was undrinkable, and I like Dunkin'. There was a fair variety of items, but it was all pretty unappetizing. Too bad, the place was great otherwise. I'd recommend staying here and walking to a coffee shop. The room was cheap enough to write off the breakfast without feeling bad.

Great location, walkable

Weekend get away with my husband. Location was great, close to many things, walkable. Parking onsite if you are lucky, if not it’s down the street a bit. Check in staff was great. One complaint is there is only 1 elevator. Our king room had a separate bedroom with TV. Sitting room with couch, kitchenette,microwave,fridge,sink,dishes, and a small fireplace on the 11th floor. Could have used a boot mat for our snowy wet boots to sit on rather than the floor. The room was very clean. Would recommend.
