The staff provided maps to local attractions. This was a great help. The room had fresh fruit and water replenished daily. It had a beautiful soaking tub. The Continental breakfast offered a good variety.
The room, a Classic Double, was slightly smaller than expected.

An Acceptable Stay

helpful staffconvenient locationsmaller roommissing remote
The hotel staff was helpful with directions. My room, a Classic Double, was well kept and clean. Breakfast was quite satisfactory, with a good range of options (especially the croissants!). The hotel's location was also advantageous for accessing the city.
I found the room a bit smaller than expected. The television remote was missing, inconvenient. I had to request it from the reception desk (it took a while to arrive).
