convenient stay near golden circle

easy accessgreat viewlocal discountpoor isolation
self-check-in made arrival easy. the recommended breakfast spot offered great views during sunrise. discounts at a local business added value to my stay. the bathroom was large and comfortable.
sound isolation could be improved as noise traveled easily. this was a bit disruptive during the evening.
