The rooms and the hotel was very clean and the breakfast was better than I expected it to be. There was a good selection of traditional pastries, breads, cold cereals, hard boiled and scrambled eggs, great juice selections, and an automatic coffee machine that brewed all of your favorite coffees from espresso to lattes. There was also a good selection of teas and milks. The wifi was fast and seamless and the staff very courteous and very helpful.
