Clean, quiet and a great stocked continental breakfast (hardboiled eggs, yogurt, fruit). There were amenities that were on their website that were not available. No robe, no cots (an air mattress that we had to inflate) and no coffee maker in the room. There was a small refrigerator and microwave in the room which was a nice surprise. There is no elevator so beware regarding luggage. Overall it was a good value for the price.
