Acceptable Location, Disappointing Sleep Quality
excellent locationloud musicsleeping difficulty
The location was excellent for seeing the town.
The noise was a problem. I could hear loud music from the bar directly below my room until late at night. This made sleeping difficult, even with the provided earplugs.

Location work just fine for my needs. The staff were friendly. Room service was great and prompt. I also stored my luggage before my room became available.
The room seemed a little small to me. My window had no view to speak of. Breakfast offer few options. The fruit salad did not seem very fresh to me.
