superb location great variety drink option small room bathroom door limited space
the location was superb. i walked to almost every place i wanted to visit (it really made sightseeing easy!). the breakfast had great variety. i especially loved the different drink options, the hot chocolate was a treat!
the room was quite small. i felt a little cramped (especially with my luggage!). the bathroom door didn't fully shut. only one person could use the bathroom at a time.
