The staff were AMAZING and helpful. They gave me advice on how to best navigate the city. They addressed me in my native language, a thoughtful touch. The breakfast had a great variety. I enjoyed the different dishes available.
The room was smaller than I expected. This made maneuvering with luggage a little difficult. There was also some noise from other rooms.
