The front desk service (day shift) was good. The 101 Coffee Shop in the hotel served good breakfast. The wait for food was a bit long because the restaurant was crowded. The location is convenient to public transportation. There is free parking...

While we have stayed at Magic Castle before and enjoyed it, this time we were assigned to the tiniest, weirdest room. It had no working phone, and none of the amenities (kitchenette, DVD, coffeemaker) that were listed. When I mentioned this to...
