Clean, comfortable, polite and very well positioned. The room was quite small and overlooking a noisy street. The breakfast at David's deli next door was adequate, but not wonderful.

We were very pleased with the location and the hotelroom. The breakfast was poor, the waiters very stressed and unfriendly. The wireless internetconection in the room was very poor.
