The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good. The rooms were clean. The location was really convenient. It helped me explore the nearby attractions! I booked a garage space. It prevented any parking concerns. I found the entertainment great and the drink prices reasonable.
The corridors were too narrow! it was difficult to navigate. Especially with luggage.
