Excellent Location and Great Breakfast!

I found the location convenient. Major attractions are just a short walk away. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of fresh options including fruits and cereals. The staff were friendly and helpful, promptly addressing my questions and requests. I also took advantage of the airport transfer service, made my arrival seamless.
The room was somewhat small, and street noise was audible at times.
