Centrally located, restaurants and tourist locations within walking distance. Breakfast buffet was included, so it was convenient to eat breakfast before heading out for the day. The complimentary snack bar which was open 24 hrs was also great, we usually grabbed snacks and water before and after our daily trips. Staff was great and helpful. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with hotel and would definitely book it again!!!
