Excellent Stay, Close to Everything!

I found the location convenient! It's just a short walk to the city center, I walked there everyday! Parking in the garage was very secure, my car felt safe. I appreciated the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff!

The room lacked a small hook for hanging towels after showering. It would be a useful addition.
