A little weird setup since there's no reception on the first floor. We had to double park while disembarking and then look for public parking a 1/2 block away. Breakfast is served between 6-9am, meaning if you showed up at 8, you will be fighting over cold eggs and scraps. Good thing is that it's centraly located across a Starbucks. Overall, it was clean and we were able to rest after some kids stop screaming and running on the hallway.
