The hotel's location proved very useful. It was close to many attractions. Breakfast offered several options that suited my needs. The staff were helpful, offering guidance with maps.
The room I received was quite small relative to what I paid. There were very limited food options. Only one glass cup was provided in the room, despite there being two of us.
