The complimentary breakfast is a large buffet with plenty of options such as breads, fruits, cereals, hams, cheeses, and hot items.

The hotel is a collection of apartments yet still has a 24-hour reception service available. The rooms and communal areas are simple and reflect the price, and the hotel hosts business people on working trips as often as it does tourists on vacation.
