Adequate stay near main attractions

central location quiet street fresh choices low lighting dark wood broken toilet

The location was central. It made the main tourist sights easily accessible by walking. The street was also quiet. Breakfast offered fresh choices on the rooftop. There were both covered and fresh air options.

The room had low lighting. Dark wood finishing. The hotel sits at a street corner intersection. The toilet seat was broken and the tv remote did not work.
