I was very disappointed in the continental breakfast options. Two out of the three mornings, they ran out of regular coffee, and they never offered half-and-half as a milk option. I was also disappointed in the fact that coffee was not available for me to make myself in my room. I am not a tea drinker. If the electric kettle was there, why could instant coffee not been offered?

10/10 highly recommended. It’s my go to since it was Hotel Zero. It’s my all time favorite. I only missed staying here and stay somewhere else for 2 reason, they are full or the price is too much. I love the new looks, very calm, clean, comfortable. Staff is always courteous and informative. The new phone magnet stand is absolutely smart!
