central and comfortable stay

warm greetingefficient servicehappy arrangement
I found the staff greeted me warmly and provided efficient service. the variety at breakfast pleased me, including the option to order hot items. i appreciated the late check-out they happily arranged for me. It was very helpful.
I noticed the absence of doors in some bathrooms could present a privacy issue for certain guests. I found frosted glass separating the spaces instead.

this hotel benefits from its prime spot right in the heart of everything; you can easily reach most major sites by walking a short distance from the front doors which i valued.
