This was a lovely hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We used this as a base to explore and it was very easy to get around from here. We also walked to downtown several times, so it is totally doable if you don't want to pay for a taxi. The breakfast was great. The restaurant was also pretty good. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here.
