"Just a few missing details such as burned out lightbulbs in the beautiful, but somewhat dated lobby and lights in the elevator which would turn off upon entry and back on after selecting a floor. Staff was mostly friendly and helpful, but have had more congenial receptions at other hotels. While supper was pretty tasty, the breakfast buffet was not very enjoyable."
