It was a nice hotel with very friendly staff. The breakfast buffet selection was good with custom orders available. Their dinner also was pretty good. Large portions though. The room was soacious and clean, the only limitation was the shelving and storage space. There is no dresser, and the storage space at the entrance is really limited. For a few day stay i had to keep my clothes in the suitcase. Location was good, I walked to all main attractions
