decent room and service

comfortable bed modern room overpriced breakfast poor avocado toast

the room was modern and very clean! the bed was comfortable. it really made it hard to get out of it in the morning.

the breakfast was overpriced and the avocado toast was not good. i ordered avocado toast with poached eggs. the avocado looked and tasted like it came from a bottle.
