The breakfast was very good. Room was in very good condition. The staff were wonderful. The only thing that was strange is that the bathroom had clear glass separating it from the bedroom, so you can visbly see whats happening in there and if you have to use it inthe middle of the night and turn the lights on, it will disrupt the other person's sleep. Overall, though, it was a very pleasant and wonderful stay. It was very close to shopping areas and the main squares were all walkable. I would stay here again.
