The hotel offered complimentary coffee and a convenient breakfast bar. This was a nice touch. The location is excellent. I found an eight-minute walk put me at Central Station. I appreciated the quiet room that featured effective air conditioning. The staff supported check-in well, explaining the hotel clearly.
