Convenient stay
easy accessibilityroom adequacybeverage availabilitypoor ventilation
The hotel is near bus stop 8. Tour pickups and drop-offs are easily accessible. My room worked well for a couple. There was coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available to drink all day. That was a plus.
One of my rooms was small. The bathroom lacked ventilation or a window. The humidity was constantly at 100% inside that bathroom.
Location

The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of the main attractions. I mostly used it to store my things and rest, and the location worked perfectly for that. I found many spots to be close to the hotel.
