i skipped breakfast this time, instead choosing the hunter's chicken for dinner, and it was a solid choice. the staff proved helpful consistently, especially with directions. my room had a view to the street, and i didn't find it overly disruptive. the wifi signal was steady, which allowed me catch up on emails.
The bathroom could use a bit more attention. I noticed a small amount of mildew near the shower tiles.
