Excellent Location and Friendly Staff

safe parking convenient parking closet robes lavazza machine
The hotel location was excellent, close to many shops and restaurants. I appreciated the private parking lot adjacent to the building. It was safe and convenient. The room included two robes in the closet for guest use. I also liked the Lavazza machine in the lobby. It was available .
The bathroom was rather small in my bay window room. The toilet's placement made navigating the shower a little difficult. Counter space was limited.
Dining

A Lavazza coffee maker is available in the reception area 24/7. It is a convenient amenity . Complimentary coffee and water are available in the lobby, nice. However there was no food offered.
