the complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. i especially liked the waffles, and the breakfast staff was so attentive. i appreciated that the hotel was close to many restaurants and shops so i could easily walk to dinner each night.
the hot tub was not clean so i could not use it. i also noticed some scum on the walls and the water had a green tinge. this was a disappointment because i was looking forward to relaxing after a day of exploring.
