The location was great for my coming and going. The staff went out of their way to be of assistance. With my bad knee, I did find it not comfortable with stairs. Everything else made up for that.

Good experience overall. Breakfast is not bad but could definitely be improved with more fresh veggies. Be careful with the prices on the room service menu that are not always clear (and respected).

Solo traveled. Really liked the location of this hotel. Staff were very friendly. Easy check in and easy check out. Didn’t like the carpet floor that much and wished there was a gym. If you skip housekeeping you get a voucher.
