the location was great for seeing the sights. it was a short walk to many famous spots. the spa offered a way to relax after a busy day (i enjoyed the sauna). the staff was friendly and helpful.
the room i had was smaller than the pictures showed. there was not much space to move around. the bathroom shower door would not close properly (i had to hold it shut). the walls seemed thin and i could hear a lot of noise from outside and within the hotel.
