Excellent Stay in a Central Location
equipped kitchen fluffy towels central location super clean room
I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen with milk and cereal available. The hot shower was great and included fluffy towels. The central location made exploring convenient. A mini fridge was also available in the super clean room.
The internet connectivity was a bit spotty. The WIFI signal occasionally dropped.
