Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Centrally located with very friendly staff
My room was comfortable and reasonably priced, although it was warmer than what I would have preferred. The staff was really friendly and helpful. There was quite a variety of items available in the breakfast buffet and it was very delicious. There was a Hop On Hop Off Tour bus stop right in front of the hotel, which was really convenient for me. My only real complaint was with the beggars who hung around the street block and tended to harass tourists waiting for the bus.
