Don't miss: The free breakfast in the mornings and the cookies in the lobby in the evenings.

Room Location Suggestion: We had a 2nd floor room and it was really convenient. Only problem was that the laundry facilites were only on the 3rd & 4th floor. So, if you don't mind lugging your laundry, we really enjoyed being on the 2nd floor.

The Mouse For less Tip: The free breakfast was great. They served toast, bagels, waffles, muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt, etc...It was great and very dollarless. They also had cookies in the lobby in the evenings, which were a great bedtime snack (be sure and look for them on the counter at the front desk. I didn't notice them until our last night there. Finally, all the rooms had microwave ovens and mini-fridges, where you could keep some snack stuff or even eat dinner in your room to save some extra money.

Comments: This was a great little hotel with a friendly staff. We really enjoyed the breakfast and there were tons of restaurants around within walking distance. Our only concern with this hotel was their shuttle company. They were always late and sometimes didn't even bother to show up! So, if you're going to stay here, be sure you have a car. One last thing - They had Kid's Suites at this hotel. I didn't see any of them so I can't comment on them, but I know they're available! We paid $65/night for our room.
