limited selection poor wi-fi
the hotel location was central. it helped with attending my show.
the breakfast selection seemed limited. i looked for oatmeal but they did not have it. the room felt cramped, and it had dark colors, i found it odd to not even have a fridge in the room. the wi-fi connection gave me problems, loading took too much time.

Central hotel, some minor issues
central location friendly staff modern room rude man bad lighting loud housekeeper
I appreciated the central location. It was very close to transport options. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was modern and clean.
The check-in man seemed rude. I had to ask about breakfast. The housekeeper walked the corridor from 7:30 while speaking loudly on her mobile phone. The room lighting was bad.
