My stay included access to a bar that had a good atmosphere. The bar offered very good food and provided live music. The location was central, close to many attractions..
The cleaners were somewhat noisy, starting early in the morning. It was sometimes hard to get a good night's sleep because of this. A fluctuating price for rooms was also experienced..
