The hotel's location is really central. It allowed quick access to main attractions. the room was spacious, it included a comfortable bed. i liked the fire in the lobby a lot, it added a warm touch. breakfast was varied, and it had options for everyone.
The stairwells smelled dusty. It was a bit off-putting.

my room was too warm, even with the window slightly open, the noise from outside was noticeable and disruptive. the doors in the hallway also slammed shut often.
