We had a wonderful stay and were very satisfied overall. The room was spacious , clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Whenever we needed something extra ,such as a chair or hair dryer, they provided it right away. The continental breakfast was delicious, with a good variety of food, and everything was always well stocked. The location was excellent- only about a 10 minute walk to the main attractions, which made it very convenient for sightseeing. Overall, we very happy with our stay and would gladly recommend this place to others.
