friendly staffcentral location
The front desk staff showed friendliness and helpfulness. They even made reservations at a great restaurant for me when I returned late from my tour. The location proved central and near the train station. It aided travel.
The breakfast seemed a bit repetitive . I wished for some daily variation.
