the location was convenient. i walked to several attractions and restaurants.. the breakfast offered a wide selection. fresh pastries and fruit were available daily. the staff provided helpful directions and recommendations.

The room décor felt somewhat dated. the carpeting was worn and could use replacement. the bathroom was rather small. The shower space was especially cramped. street noise was audible at night even with closed windows.
