Central Location and Excellent Service!

convenient location friendly staff great selection

I really enjoyed the hotel's convenient location right in the city center. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The rooms were good and the location of the hotel is ideal being in the city center. The breakfast had a great selection.

The bathroom only had two towels. I wish there had been more available or that they had been replaced more frequently. That was the only issue encountered

helpful staff big rooms central location tainted water classier experience

The staff was helpful. I enjoyed the BIG rooms. They were comfortable. The location is right in the centre.

The pillows were horrible. I think the hot water kettle should not be combined with a coffee maker. It taints the water. I was expecting a classier experience.
