Fantastic City Stay

efficient check-in luggage storage varied breakfast

The staff was very cute. They efficiently handled my early check-in. I also appreciated the option to leave my luggage after checking out. That allowed me to explore a bit more. The breakfast had a GREAT!!! selection and offered lots of choices.

The room lacked luggage racks.

The hotel is close to many shops and restaurants. Public transportation is very accessible from the front door. Exploring central attractions on foot is easy from this very central location.
