GREAT central location

central location helpful staff breakfast box
I found a REALLY central location. The staff was helpful. The hotel IS well-kept. They offered airport taxi arrangement, a VERY good service. Breakfast was neatly organized. I also got a pre-flight breakfast box.
the main restaurant seemed pretty expensive. i expected a sommelier present. no one assisted with wine choice.

service needs attention

central location spacious room comfortable room chaotic breakfast slow service unfriendly staff
the location was central with landmarks nearby i found the room to be spacious super clean and cozy i appreciated the upgrade i received upon arrival due to my ihg status.
the breakfast service was quite chaotic many buffet items ran out quickly i experienced slow service i had to repeatedly ask a server for assistance the staff could have smiled more and been friendlier perhaps it was due to the new year celebrations.
