convenient location fresh towels limited breakfast worn furniture
The hotel's location was convenient.. it was just a short walk to many main attractions. i also appreciated the daily room cleaning. Fresh towels were always available.
the breakfast selection was limited and did not offer much variety. also, some of the furniture in my room showed signs of wear and could use updating.

Amazing Staff and Great Location!
friendly staff room cleanliness rooftop view
The staff were AMAZING. They always greeted me with a smile and were eager to help with directions. I REALLY appreciated the cleanliness of my room. The rooftop terrace offered a lovely view during breakfast. It was a good way to start the day.
The bathroom was a bit small, there was limited counter space for toiletries.
