Wonderful City Stay

The staff was very cute. The room was very clean. Breakfast had a good variety of options, including fresh pastries and hot items (especially the pancakes!). I received helpful advice from staff about the local attractions.
The air conditioning unit seemed to take a while to cool the room down initially.
