"The balcony view was very nice . The room was comprtable and also very nice. Be aware that you might be given assurance of a requested room but when you arrive they gave the room to someone else. It happened to us and also to another guest when we were checking in. The continental breakfast in the morning was only sweet breads, yogurt cups ( they ran out by the second day of our stay)- and instant oatmeal cups - No decaf coffee- no milk - no juice. Overall, it was a nice stay."
