Excellent Central Stay
central locationextra helpthoughtful touch
The hotel is very well located. it was easy to walk to many attractions. the staff quickly assisted us in locating nearby parking. I appreciated that extra help. the special early breakfast for marathon runners was a thoughtful touch.
The hot tap in the room made a loud noise. It sounded like the sink might come off the wall.

mixed feelings about this stay
convenient locationdisrupted sleeproom quality
the location proved convenient with its proximity to nearby attractions.
The room overlooked another building at a mere 30 cm distance, this proximity allowed noise from birds and other creatures to disrupt sleep. It seemed like a poorly maintained space. i hoped for better given the hotel's reputation, but this experience fell short.
