a haven of warmth

friendly staff central location clean rooms

the hotel staff greeted me with smiles each morning, it. the location offered a beautiful convenience to all the main sights, which i enjoyed. the rooms were very clean, it was clear the housekeeping staff took great care.

i experienced some minor noise from nearby streets at night. perhaps thicker windows could address this.
