solid choice

central location room size

the location is great, close to everything. my room was larger than i expected. I was actually surprised by the extra space and the daily housekeeping provided a lot.

the breakfast was limited to scrambled or boiled eggs. the rest of the selection seemed aimed at other guests, which i found pretty odd. i wish there were more options during the breakfast.
