The location was ideal, within easy reach of great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Our room was modern, clean, and comfortable, with a handy kitchenette—though I did wish there had been some crockery and drinking glasses. The daily breakfast was a plus.

The woman at the frint desk was polite and helpful. The room was nice and I liked the breakfast and convenience of water filter in the room. This hotel was in a perfect location for public transportation. The water power in the shower was a little low for my liking. Great stay overall.
