The location was fantastic, as it was conveniently close to the city center and all major attractions. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, which included a well-equipped kitchen and a cozy common area for relaxing. The free breakfast, although basic, was filling, and the complimentary soups and popcorn in the evening added a nice touch.

I had a delightful experience at this hotel, as the staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The facilities were top-notch, with a clean kitchen that made food prep easy, and the location couldn't be better, being very close to all the restaurants and attractions. I also loved the complimentary breakfast and the cozy common area where I could unwind after a long day.
