Everything was great—location, room, and friendly staff. But we missed a t-shirt. My son's comfort shirt for sleeping was missing. I called the front desk but the housekeeping staff had already left for the day. I reported the next day but we left the hotel early in the morning housekeeping was not available yet.

The location was good, breakfast as well. The only thing the room lacked was more lighting and there was a constant cold wind draft although the window was closed.

The rooms are fine, if a bit dated. Lighting could be improved around the bathroom sink and in the main room. The breakfast was as I expected, nothing to be excited about, but at least kept me from being hungry for a little while.

Overall it was a good stay and the hotel is at a great location. Though expensive for the type of room. Our room did not have a good view as it was blocked by an old building. Maybe other rooms have better views.
