breakfast options convenient location insufficient coverage soft bed

The breakfast included many options and tasted good. Staff were very accommodating and kind. I found the location convenient. I appreciated the easy access to a dog park just across the street.

The room featured two walls of windows, they lacked sufficient coverage. At sunrise, the room became very bright as a result. I found the bed too soft.
