average stay, some ISSUES

unpleasant odor
IT was tiny and painfully slow, a real nuisance especially with luggage. furthermore, my room had a noticeable odor, seemingly from the bathroom lacking proper ventilation. the air conditioning barely worked, providing little to no relief.

I found gluten-free options at breakfast, which the staff provided. The buffet had many choices. The location allowed us to walk to sights. Everything was super convenient! The staff were friendly and helpful . The room was spacious and clean. It provided a fantastic view. I recommend this hotel. The hotel was right on a pedestrian street. It stood in the heart of it all. The temperature was perfect. It was quiet. It was comfortable.
Heavy works caused drilling noises at 8:30 AM. It woke us up .
