Wonderful Stay, Great Location
clean roomgreat locationaccommodating staffgreat taxi
My room was clean, and it had everything I needed. The location worked well since I went to an event nearby. Staff was accommodating, and they did allow me to leave my bag before check-in. They recommended a great taxi service too.
The stairs to the rooms were steep. They are narrow too.
