Central Location and Helpful Staff

central locationfriendly staffspacious roomcomfortable bed

I really appreciated the central location. Tour meeting points were within easy walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was given a free room upgrade and had a very spacious room. The bed was comfortable, and i had a good rest.

The bathroom amenities were very limited. There was only shower gel and hand wash. There wasn't a floor mat, tissue, or paper towels provided in the kitchenette.

a decent city stay

great locationhelpful staffpoor viewsmall shower

The location proved quite useful for getting around. the staff were helpful, and i especially appreciated the recommendations for local restaurants. This. it was nice that i was able to check in early at around 1 pm.

My room faced another building so the view wasn't great. That was a little disappointing. the shower space felt small, and it was hard to move comfortably when using soap. I think there should be more space
