great locationfriendly staffsmall roomlack of space

The location was great. I could walk to most places I wanted to see. The staff were friendly and always willing to assist.

The room was pretty small, I mean really small. The lack of space made it difficult to relax, and I felt cramped. Closet space was almost non-existent. It was a struggle.

excellent locationfree passesamazing breakfast

this hotel location is excellent. i loved the free travel passes so we explore the city. the bar serves food till late too and the breakfast blew my mind coffee too was very good. we will stay here again and we recommend it!

the hotel entrance for parking was not obvious and could have a sign. if you miss the turnoff you wind up doing a long loop to find your way back again. it was kind of annoying.
