"I booked this hotel on the recommendation of my travel agent. The location was excellent for walking about the city. The staff were very helpful & professional. The breakfast was delicious that they served. I had everything I needed in the room & they gave me one on the back of the hotel which was quiet. I would definitely stay here again."
