Excellent Central Hotel

central location amazing staff nice breakfast convenient supermarket
The location was unbeatable, placing every important city amenity within easy reach. Tour companies and restaurants were just a short walk. I found a supermarket located conveniently outside the hotel. The staff offered amazing service and displayed constant readiness to help. Breakfast presented very nice options.
The room was a bit small, making it a little difficult to manage luggage.

Adequate stay downtown

central location helpful staff good choice small room tiny bathroom high price
The location was really good, I accessed many central spots with ease. The staff were helpful. The complimentary breakfast offered a really good array of choices.
The room felt a little small. The bathroom was far too tiny, so it was a bit challenging to move around. The price I paid felt high relative to the room size and amenities.
