The location was AMAZING!!! It was so close to everything I wanted to see and do. The breakfast was good too. I really liked the variety of options. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when I needed directions.

My room felt a bit outdated. I saw marks on the walls and the bath had chips in it. The electric cables were just hanging, which I didn't like.
