The staff was friendly and helpful . They provided assistance with directions and recommendations for local restaurants. Breakfast offered fresh products with an option to ask for any type of eggs. The location was great. It was a short walk to the metro.
The room was a little smaller than I expected, but it was still manageable for a short stay.
