It was very clean and nice in the room. King bed was comfortable. Plenty of shopping and eateries near by. Breakfast was listed as "continental". A waffle maker and some type of protein,like eggs and/or sausage, would be an improvement. Staff were cordial. We would stay here in the future. Amenities were fine."
