“Spotlessly clean and brand-new. Great value, well-presented rooms, and fabulously helpful staff. The location was ideal—near the restaurant and cocktail bar, and within walking distance of many restaurants, historical sites, and a theatre. I got a free upgrade to a balcony room with very comfy beds.”
