Solid Hotel Stay

central location tasty breakfast available staff
I appreciated the central location. It made exploring convenient. The breakfast provided good energy for my outings. The staff was always available and ready to assist with any request I had.
The bathroom fixtures seemed somewhat outdated. This detracted a bit from the overall experience. A refresh would enhance the room.
