Charming Stay Close to Everything

superb locationgood varietyhelpful staffmissing water
The location is superb. I walked to numerous key sites. The breakfast offered a good variety. The staff ensured I had breakfast available before my early departure. They proactively confirmed my needs and adapted the service accordingly.
I noticed the absence of complimentary water in the room or at the reception. It would have been a nice touch, especially after a long day.
