A decent stay overall

great location available staff small room basic options
The location is really good. It is close to many attractions and that helps a LOT. the staff was helpful with directions and recommendations. I appreciated that they were so available.
The room was smaller than I expected. There was barely enough space to move around the bed. I was also disappointed with the limited breakfast options. The choices were quite basic, and nothing stood out.
