Hotel Trebol
The breakfast menu options were great! The location is excellent walkable to dining and main center plaza. I was disappointed with the noise level within the hotel during mornings - employees speaking to each other across from the halls.

Clean rooms/friendly staff/ good breakfast. Walls are very thin so you will hear everytime neighbor takes a phone call at 5am on speakerphone like mine did everyday. Not the hotels fault just terrible neighbors
