The location allowed easy access to many key sites. My room had a spacious layout and comfortable furnishings. I especially liked the thoughtful touches and attention to detail. The restaurant offered great dining and attentive service, with a simple but flavorful menu.
I found the lack of soap dishes in the bathrooms slightly inconvenient. I would have appreciated having a designated spot to place soap to keep the area tidy.
