"Breakfast was included in our booking. The 1st day we had to wait almost an hour for someone to make breakfast. Day #2 get got a cold sandwich w cheese and ham. We stayed in a private room on the first floor. The room was near the lobby/entrance and kitchen. It was a bit noisy at times. Overall location was nice. Close to stores within walking distance "
