Well-located, a friendly staff, great breakfast

This was my third time staying at this hotel. It is centrally located in a heavily trafficked tourist area, so once you tire of the crowds, you’ll want to explore other interesting areas of the city, many of which are within walking distance of the hotel. My only complaint is that there was no way to control the AC in the room (they were having a heat wave) and I was freezing until I asked and received a small portable heater.
