That the room was comfortable. Also that the breakfast was good. Easy to get to with the Subway very close by. I liked that they had small chocolates in the lobby to eat. The snacks were very good. Overall, the staff was very good and felt comfortable leaving my bag there while a room became open and after check out until I came back to get it. Will stay here again if I can get a lower floor (1st or 2nd).
