The hotel and staff were very nice. It was a bit warm for our liking but not unbearable, and the water pressure was very intense in the shower, but otherwise the room had everything we needed. The breakfast was nice as well.

Very clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Walking distance to bus station and shops. A little bit of street noise like car alarms going off but to be expected from such a convenient location to busy downtown. We had a wonderdul stay and the staff were hardworking and went above and beyond to helpnus.
