Excellent Stay in a Central Location

central location helpful staff fresh towels

The location was unbeatable. All attractions were easily accessible. Staff members were consistently helpful and polite. I liked that new sheets and towels were provided daily. I also appreciated the daily replenishment of toilet paper.

The noise from outside at night was intense. Partying and general commotion continued until the early hours. Sleeping was quite difficult without earplugs.
