Great central location that’s very walkable to all the touristy things. However the central location also means it locks the front door by default that someone need to let you in even to check in. Rooms were compact, but it’s clean and the included breakfast is very much appreciated

The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and had a variety of hot items and cold items. It offered the same items daily. They also offered "to go" bags and cups to pack your breakfast in case you had to leave for a tour. The front desk staff were always friendly and extremely informative on places to see, how to navigate public transportation, and overall tips.
