Excellent Stay!

efficient staffearly arrivaldecent varietymissing refrigerator
The staff went the extra mile. They efficiently accommodated my package delivery prior to arrival. I marked that I would arrive early, and my room was ready upon arrival. The breakfast had a decent variety, including typical european options.
The absence of a refrigerator in the room was a slight inconvenience. Restaurants around the hotel were limited to the one on site. Grocery stores across the street were useful.
