Pros (+) Location, nice room with a good view.
Cons (-) The continental breakfast was very lacking. It was put out once, not much of a choice and it was never restocked. We ran out of coffee quickly and no one ever came to even check much less refill it. The pastries were not fresh. Not what we expected for such a nice hotel.
