Excellent Central Stay

convenient locationspacious roomnecessary amenitiesuncomfortable pillows
I found the location quite convenient for visiting tourist areas. The room I had was spacious for a single occupant, a nice bonus. The room was well equipped with all necessary amenities, I appreciated that. I left my luggage in a secure place after checkout, a great service.
The pillows were uncomfortable. I think they need replacement.
