excellent experience near the park

pleasant lobbyvillage viewlimited breakfast
the location was superb close to the subway and many restaurants. the lobby was pleasant. my upgraded room faced the village and offered excellent views. i appreciated the helpfulness of the staff .
i found the breakfast options to be somewhat limited. the absence of a wider variety of choices impacted my satisfaction with the morning meal. a greater selection of items would improve this service.
