The room included a super comfy bed and all the amenities I needed. They brought breakfast directly to the room! THE location was fantastic and central but very quiet.
There was no active reception person available for questions! though I could ring a bell.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

central locationpre-packaged breakfastminimal ingredients
The location was fairly central.
The breakfast was not good (it was pre-packaged in a bag). It consisted of minimal ingredients. This made it impossible for me to eat since I have allergies. The room was not cleaned .
