The room was very clean and surprisingly spacious!!! I found charming touches like chocolates and free water. The location was perfect for exploring. I even walked everywhere!!!
The breakfast menu was somewhat basic for the price.
the location proved convenient. the room had an electric kettle and complimentary water bottles. the front desk staff agreed to hold our luggage after we checked out. the bathroom included soap, shampoo, and lotion.
The hotel didn't include breakfast. the cost felt a bit high for just one night.
