wonderful stay in a great location!
helpful staff convenient location
I am grateful for the helpful staff, especially asad! the hotel is close to major landmarks, a very convenient location for sightseeing, i found it easy to access everything. breakfast offered a good variety of options. This was a pleasant way to start the day.
the blanket in my room had a tear! i did not find this a major issue, but the hotel should check these things more regularly. the pillows felt uncomfortable, affecting my sleep quality, i believe new pillows would enhance the guest experience.
