The location was perfect for us and our plans. It was easy to catch a Ferry or bus to wherever we wanted to go, there were a lot of different food options and shopping areas that we were able to access easily by walking. I wish the room was a little bigger. Everything and everyone at the hotel were very helpful and clean. I would stay there again.
