The location was good, the room and bed were very nice. Don't know if they offer breakfast because I had to leave early for my business meetings. Lots of great parking

Nice if you're not on top of the laundry room!
The room was great, only complaint was that it was directly above the laundry room and rather than stop laundry during sleeping hours it sounded like they were doing laundry all night. We got used to it eventually!
