Acceptable Location, Disappointing Sleep Quality
loud music sleeping 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.

A decent stay downtown
friendly staff prompt service small room limited options
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.
