The breakfast was delicious, with a good variety to start the day right. The location is also perfect — quiet, but close to all the main attractions. Overall, a warm and welcoming place to stay. Highly recommended!
The staff are very friendly and ready to answer any question regarding your stay in the city. ( Trust me, you will have many)
But the best part, is that they make you feel at home and welcomed.
I will be happy to come back in future.
Katie is wonderful, and help with any our questions.
