the hotel's location proved excellent, within walking distance of many attractions. i appreciated the helpful nature of the staff, they were quick to address any questions. the room was clean and i found the bed quite comfortable. it was a treat to have complimentary coffee and pastries available each morning.

the air conditioning unit, while effective, emitted a noticeable noise throughout the night, it was a bit disruptive.
