Conveniently located in the heart of town. I had requested an accessible room. The bathroom facilities for this room were excellent. Large walk in shower with handle bars. Nice breakfast although it was like a maze to get to the breakfast area. The Amarillo restaurant is conveniently located in the hotel.

YstÀvÀllinen vastaanotto, selkeÀ ohjeistus, siisti huone ja sijainti olivat tÀydelliset. Saman katon alla oleva market, huoneen jÀÀkaappi sekÀ ilmastointi auttoivat kestÀmÀÀn helteistÀ viikonloppua. Aamiainen perustasoa, murot/myslit kaukana jukurteista (eri pöydissÀ). Linjasto oli sokkeloinen. Amarillossa annokseni oli liian maustettua, syöminen jÀi kesken.
