The location was across the street from the city Zoo and near the Europa Center shopping area. There were plenty of restaurants and touristy locations. Some of them seemed a little sketchy, but the police were always walking beats in the area, so we never felt unsafe.
Hotel front desk were very friendly and helpful. They managed a small bar and kitchenette area. There was also ample seating in the lobby to watch folks passing by the hotel entrance.
The hotel halls were kind of dimly lit, which made them feel a bit dreary. The room itself was clean, but felt dated. Our room had double-paned windows, and one of the interior windows had large break in it. This didn't cause a problem, but it wasn't pretty to look at.
We had to catch an early flight, so we didn't get a chance to try the breakfast buffet before leaving.
