The location is great. It is very central, providing easy access to everything. The staff was friendly from arrival to departure. Breakfast featured a wide selection and hot items were cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the plentiful coffee, tea, and juices offered.
The pillows were too soft for my liking. I would have liked something firmer to sleep on. this was a minor issue compared to the overall positive experience.
