The breakfast was a highlight, with a WIDE selection of items available. The location was great. It was easy to walk to many attractions. All staff were very helpful and friendly .

The room lacked expected amenities for the price. There was no coffee machine in the room. I couldn't find a kettle for boiling water. The check-in took longer than expected, FRUSTRATING after a long trip.
