The breakfast options were varied, but I found my specific choice of eggs benedict to be lacking, as the eggs felt overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was disappointingly dry. The dinner menu was underwhelming as well, with flavors that didn't really impress.
Facilities

Basic amenities like free Wi-Fi and tea/coffee facilities were present, but the Wi-Fi kept logging me off frequently, which was frustrating. The public areas of the hotel were well-maintained and inviting.
