The staff was very helpful! They assisted with local recommendations and directions. My room was clean. It had a comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. The location is excellent. The proximity to museums and public transportation made sightseeing easy.
The room size was smaller than expected. There was limited space for luggage. The noise level from the street was noticeable at times. It did disrupt sleep. The breakfast buffet was overpriced.
