Excellent Stay near Excel!

excellent locationfresh omeletshard mattress
The hotel staff were very polite and cute (especially at breakfast). The location was excellent, very convenient for events at Excel. The breakfast had lots of choice. They made fresh omelets and pancakes upon request. I was impressed they allowed me to take breakfast upstairs and even provided a tray.
The mattress in my room was hard. I had a bad sleep . I think a mattress upgrade is overdue.

large roomcomfortable roomexcellent breakfastbathroom floordeep cleansugar refill
The room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, with a great variety (especially the pastries). I also liked that the hotel is very close to the cable cars.
I found that the cleanliness in the room was somewhat lacking. The bathroom floor needed a deep clean, and the grout looked like it could use attention. There were no refills of sugar, and the tray was dusty, a small letdown (maybe i'm nitpicking).
