awesome location and surprisingly quiet!
hotel roomprofessional staffonsite restaurantcreaking floor
the hotel room was a good size and clean. the hotel staff were very professional! i loved that the restaurant onsite was great, especially for breakfast. i also loved that it was close to the bus station for my airport transfer.
the floor to the room above creaked with every movement. occupants above walked around from 10pm till after 4am so i did not get proper sleep at all! it was pretty annoying.
