gorgeous stay!

convenient locationclean facilitiescomfortable bedearly morning noise

The location was convenient, and I found it easy to walk to most of the attractions. The room i stayed in had lots of space, and all the facilities were very clean. i found the bed especially comfortable and the coffee machine in the room was VERY useful.

my ONLY problem was the noise early in the morning. i am a light sleeper, and the sound of people checking in was annoying. i think a thicker door would solve this minor problem.
