Excellent Central Stay

comfortable bedclean bathroomcentral locationstreet noise
the staff at the front desk was quick, and check-in was easy. the room included a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. i especially appreciated the central location, close to many attractions and public transport. the breakfast buffet offered many choices, and the dining area was always clean.
the noise from the street was noticeable ,especially during the morning hours. single-glazed windows did little to block out the sounds of traffic.
