Comfortable and Convenient Stay

high quality foodgreat locationconvenient bus

The breakfast food was of high quality and cooked very well I found the food satisfying. The hotel has a great location for finding restaurants in the evening and exploring the area. A bus stop is conveniently located outside the hotel to get to various places.

This made carrying luggage somewhat challenging.
