"The property is clean, well-maintained, and the rooms are comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and offered a good variety. However, the property does not provide complimentary drinking water bottles. Also, breakfast items such as yogurt cups are not restocked once they run out. If you arrive later in the breakfast hours, some items may no longer be available. Improving the restocking of breakfast items and providing drinking water would make the overall guest experience much better.
