The architect who designed the 3 foot wide expel air type shaft running up the full height of the building from the basement within a small courtyard needs to have his brain cells re co-ordinated. The fan clicks on at 5.59 am and for four nights it woke me up. All else was perfect otherwise.

Room was great! Our only complaint is the cost of breakfast. I had gastric bypass recently and can only eat 6 oz of food, I asked for a discount or child’s price and they said no, I tried showing my medical card and they still wouldn’t accommodate. No one will pay 21 dollars for 6 oz of food.
