the location proved excellent with easy access to nearby restaurants. the staff displayed helpfulness at reception assisting with directions. i found the breakfast selection to be varied enough. the room provided a very clean environment for the duration of my stay.
the city view room overlooked a brick wall at close range. i found the room to be small and quite dark during daylight hours. soundproofing was minimal. i could hear noises from adjacent rooms.
