Acceptable stay overall

great locationhelpful staffpatchy wififirm bed
The location IS fantastic for exploring. My room had no carpet, a major plus for cleanliness. The staff let me store my luggage both before check-in and after check-out, this was quite helpful.
The room lacked hooks. I needed a place to hang my coat. WiFi was patchy. I experienced intermittent connectivity. The bed was VERY firm.
