My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was superb, close to attractions, restaurants, and just a stone's throw away from the bridge. The rooms were kept extremely clean and comfortable with three beds, including a queen bed. The free shuttle service provided added convenience to my visit. Overall, a great place to stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I couldn't have asked for a better placement; the hotel was at a stone's throw from everything downtown, making it a super convenient location! The rooms were not only spotless but also incredibly comfy. The free shuttle service was a nice touch, though the dining, with its Belgian waffles, was a tad lacking. The facilities were top-notch, ensuring a pleasant stay all around.

This hotel is a gem! The rooms are spotless and cozy, the staff is wonderful, and the location is just perfect. On the downside, the dining options were lacking and could use improvement. The price seems fair, but extra charges for Wi-Fi are a drawback.

The hotel is superbly located, within walking distance of all downtown attractions and restaurants. The rooms with three beds were impressively clean and cozy, making for a comfortable stay. The free shuttle service was a convenient perk, although the dining experience lacked variety with limited fresh vegetables. Overall, the location and room cleanliness make it a great value for money option.
