Great Location, Proximity to transportation and Restaurents. I did not interacted with the staff much but they were very nice. The hotel was a little worn down but clean. Verry limmitted items in the Breakfast buffet. Ended up eating out 2 out of the 5 days we were there. for a 3 star it is a little of a streach. Would not recommend
