I liked the staff. But the breakfast was skimpy; no potatoes; and the smell of the kitchen sometimes reached the elevator. A wonderful Italian restaurant in an old former residence is a short walk from this place.

Basic suite accommodations were fine. The building needs updates, such as the bubbled warped carpet in the hallways. Felt more geared toward transitional housing than for tourists.
