Nice and clean, friendly stuff. Espresso machine in the lobby is like an added bonus.
The only thing negative about this hotel is the breakfast area is extremely small, 4 tables for 4 sits each. You can have your breakfast outside or in the lobby, but that's a walk with all your plates from one end of the building to another.
