Fantastic Find!

helpful staff good selections great location

I definitely enjoyed my stay! The staff was super friendly and helpful. They offered useful tips. The breakfast had good selections and provided a great start to the day. The location was fantastic. I could easily walk to main attractions.

The street noise at night made it difficult to sleep sometimes. The windows didn't block sound very well. It was still manageable, but I had to use earplugs a couple of times.

Location
