Really good Stay in Prime Location

convenient luggage storage ideal location clean room
The staff provided helpful assistance with luggage storage, which I found very convenient. I stored my belongings before check-in. I also stored them again after checkout until my departure for the airport.. this saved me a lot of hassle. The location proved ideal for accessing main attractions and transportation hubs. The room was clean and well-kept.
The lack of a breakfast option was slightly inconvenient. I hoped for at least a small selection.
