The location is excellent ,right next to the botanical garden and a short walk to the city. Staff members were lovely and gave great recommendations.

excellent locationpoor soundproofinglimited selection

the location was excellent near the park.

I was disappointed by the poor soundproofing. i could easily hear conversations and noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms. this made it difficult to relax and sleep soundly. It really detracted from the experience. the breakfast also seemed overpriced considering its limited selection and quality.
