“Perfect location for sightseeing. Great hotel with great service. The staff were the nicest I've encountered in a long time. The hotel was very clean, the beds comfortable, and we had a balcony. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection, all fresh and continuously replenished. The service was consistently friendly and helpful. This was one of the best hotels on our city trip, and I would gladly return. When we booked the wrong dates, the staff accommodated us perfectly, arranging a shuttle to their sister hotel for one night and bringing our luggage back the next day. Truly outstanding.”
