Lovely Stay Close to the City

The hotel room was beautifully decorated. The twin beds were very comfortable. I found the location was ideal with a short walk to a bus stop. Buses ran regularly into the city center so access was easy.
The room felt a bit noisy at times as I could hear conversations from the adjacent room.

confusing breakfastservice charge
the breakfast setup was confusing. i saw breakfast was an option for an extra charge? it wasn't clear. i didn't add it. later i learned that adding breakfast later would cost more. also. a discretionary service charge was added to our dinner bill. i found that surprising since it was just the two of us
