An Okay Stay

perfect locationfirst class foodexcellent directionsoutdated roombad pillowfew pillows
Location is awesome! I needed to be near the airport and this location was perfect. The food was top tier, especially the meal I had at the restaurant, it was first class. One staff member provided excellent directions to the train station, this saved me money on transportation.
The room felt a bit outdated. I thought the bed wasn't very comfy, and the pillow wasn't very good. I got only one pillow, I expect more.
