Fabulous breakfast, helpful lovely staff, amazing location by the main shopping / dining street and rainbow road, wonderful bed and shower, and quiet. We got lucky with parking but I suspect it could be a challenge like any city center hotel depending on your timing. Highly recommend.

Hotel is located on the main shopping street in old town, very convenient. Staff very helpful with questions and directions. There is no bellman so guests are responsible for moving their luggage around. Room was very nice but desk counter top was peeling off.
