Cozy Theatre Getaway

superb locationcomfortable bedmodern showerluggage service

The location was superb for theatre lovers. I easily walked to shows each evening. The room had a comfortable bed and a modern shower, which I valued. The staff stored my luggage before check-in. It was in my room later.

The room size was definitely compact, more suited to solo travel than a couple..
