I found the hotel conveniently located near the tram line. My room was very nice and neat. It was perfect to return to after a day of exploring. The breakfast menu provided fabulous choices, and a continental option was AVAILABLE. Vegetarian options and super waiter service also stood out to me.
I found the bed in my room a bit too hard. I mentioned it to the hotel, and they said adding an extra topper would help.
