adequate, but some issues noted

poor service inconvenient response
the front desk experience was not ideal. i asked for a little milk for my tea. the staff member directed me to a convenience store two blocks away instead of offering assistance. this lack of small accommodation soured my stay a bit, especially given the readily available creamers at breakfast.

Excellent stay near everything

The room had two queen beds. It was spacious. Breakfast included many choices, and the hot items were always fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful, always smiling.
The air conditioning unit was quite old and somewhat noisy. It worked intermittently.
