Very well located. The staff was amazing. We are not giving a 5 star because we were assigned a room where the bathroom, even if very clean, our room was clean, it was designed for people with mobility limitations, so the shower was open and there was no vanity, only a tiny sink. Overall a great stay at a great location.

Great location and staff... My small room is perfect for a solo traveler... very clean and breakfast was top shelf but extra. No elevator or AC, which was no big deal for me but keep that in mind if those are things you need.

Great view from my top floor room, housekeeping was efficient and always finished before I came back in the early afternoon, front desk staff were great, and maintenance fixed a minor issue I experienced quickly. Great location and nice bed. Would go back!
