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.

The location worked perfectly for me. I could walk to many attractions. A grocery store was also very close, very convenient! The front desk staff was very kind. They answered all my questions.

My room was not what I expected. It felt very small for two people. The room lacked a window. It felt very warm and stuffy.
