The hotel location is fantastic. I found it really easy to walk to all the city center attractions! Breakfast was also really nice. I enjoyed the variety of options.
The hotel parking situation wasn't ideal. I had to park across the road and pay a separate fee. The room temperature was also hard to control. I found it a little too cold at times. It was inconvenient
