helpful staff breakfast buffet excellent location
i loved the location, it was close to everything i wanted to see. the staff was helpful answering my questions and providing assistance when needed. the breakfast buffet offered plenty of good options to start my day.
The room was a bit strange. It reminded me of staying in someone's apartment because of the layout. the decor seemed a bit dated.

The room had ample space and two restrooms including a shower. the hotel felt antique, so don't expect a brand new hotel. This added to the charm.
