This place is GREAT. The location made sightseeing EASY, close to so many attractions. I appreciated the staff being helpful. They provided useful information. The main level features a cozy bar and a comfortable sitting area.

the street noise WOKE me. The garbage trucks arrived early, a DISRUPTION. Maybe rooms facing the inner courtyard would be a better choice for light sleepers.
