The staff was so friendly. I loved that they gave us a quick overview of the city with a map. Our room was very clean, very spacious, and had lots of hot water. Breakfast was amazing, they offered eggs to complement the continental breakfast.
Our room faced the street at the entrance level, making it difficult to open the curtains for privacy.
