fantastic stay!

helpful staff daily cleaning

I loved how kind and helpful the staff were, so amazing! the location is perfect, i walked everywhere to see all the highlights. the hotel was cleaned daily and i really appreciated the hard work of the team. I found hot water available at all times in the bathrooms, what a bonus.

i experienced some noise in my room. the sounds from the breakfast room woke me up early in the morning, this was due to bad sound isolation. i would have liked better soundproofing for a more restful experience. only one pillow each was provided!
