Comfortable Stay

cute people needed amenities top notch bedding
I found the front desk people cute, a real charm. My room had all the amenities I needed during my entire stay. The bedding felt top notch, what a treat after a long trip.
I noticed very poor noise-isolation . Every morning, I woke up because staff hoovered the hallways early.

The hotel sat pretty close but not too close to downtown. Tour buses pick up and drop-off right outside this hotel. Parking was easy because it was right outside the front.

central location stuffy room
The location wasn't as central as I had hoped. A bit of a walk was needed to reach the main attractions. It wasn't too bad. The room felt a little cramped for the price. No air conditioning made it stuffy. Opening the window didn't help much.
