Really good Service and Prime Location

helpful staffhot chocolatefood orderingnoisy room

The staff were helpful and friendly. Having coffee and hot chocolate available in the room was very nice. Food ordering being available 24/7 was a appreciated service.

The room I stayed in felt noisy at times. I could hear people in the corridors, and it disrupted my sleep. Many central accommodations seem to have minimal space.
