amazing stay near top attractions!

central location helpful staff
the location is unbeatable , just steps from major historical sites. the staff provided sandwiches and water for our early excursions , so thoughtful! higher rooms are definitely bigger , a great tip to know. they even carried our heavy luggage up and down , a real help.
the air conditioning wasn't turned on , it was too warm in the room. i had to open the window , but then the noise from a nearby restaurant was quite disruptive , that was unfortunate.
