The staff was very friendly and helpful. the breakfast was very good. I especially enjoyed the variety of options. the location was convenient, with easy access to many attractions.
The wi-fi was inconsistent. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. the gym was quite small, and had limited equipment. the room lacked a coffee machine, which would have been convenient.
