We enjoyed the convenient location of the hotel and found it to be within walking distance to all of the major sights. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was wonderful - perhaps the best of any breakfasts in our two-week vacation. The decor in the common spaces is old/worn and in need of updating.
