Excellent Central Stay
great choiceearly check-inloud music
The breakfast offered a great choice of items. The location is very central, near many shops and restaurants. I appreciated the early check-in. My room was ready before 3 PM. Rooms include everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The music from the bar downstairs was quite loud until midnight. It made relaxing difficult. I believe future guests should receive advance notice about the music on weekends. This could help sensitive individuals plan accordingly.
