I've always been an early bird, having a restaurant open early in the morning would have been nice.

Sentral Michigan Avenue
Cleanliness needs to be much better. Housekeeping has to come back and clean multiple areas and change the linen. Curtain partly torn off but maintenance couldn’t fix it then. Views were nice.
