The hotel location is very good. It is close to many attractions and near a park. The breakfast had fantastic views. The common areas allowed guests to meet.
My room had a hole INSIDE the door. Curtains was stained. It looked like ink was on them. The bathroom was for disabled persons and not properly equipped.
