The location was good. It was near various attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful when asked. Breakfast had a good variety of options.

My room's heating system was difficult to regulate. It wouldn't go below 16 degrees. This made sleeping uncomfortable. The room wasn't cleaned one day, and some amenities weren't restocked. I had to request towels and beverages.
