8/10 Good
"For an older building, we had a great experience. The price was right, breakfast food was what you'd expect : eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereals, fruit, bagels and the extras. The guy refilling did an exceptional job at keeping all options available! The location is great and the bed super comfortable. Water pressure in the shower fantastic."
