solid stay near the congress center

varied breakfastfront deskmissing iron
the breakfast was varied and quite good. the location suited my needs because it was a short walk to the congress center. the front desk staff assisted with securing taxis quickly. i appreciated their knowledge of the area.
The hotel lacked some expected amenities for the price. There was no iron available in the room. i found this inconvenient as i needed to iron clothes for the conference. the absence of a simple iron caused a bit of a morning scramble.

the breakfast was acceptable with a good variety of options (especially the fruit).
The noise was significant. Trains and cars ran day and night due to the proximity to the bridge. the air conditioning did not get cold enough, and the windows were locked, so the room became stuffy. i found the plastic mattress protector unpleasant.
