The location was central. I could easily walk to many attractions. Breakfast service was prompt, and the food arrived warm. The breakfast selection provided enough options to satisfy diverse tastes.
The room faced the street. Noise was a problem. The windows did not block enough noise. i heard traffic sounds late into the night.

i was a bit disappointed with some aspects. my room , a twin room , felt quite small and stuffy because it had only a small window. it did not help air circulation. also , the noise from the street was noticeable. the windows seemed thin and did not block out much sound , , made sleeping a bit difficult.
