"Great value for the price. The location of the hotel is perfect for walking to most sites. The breakfast was okay and cereal is available after breakfast hours. Free ramen and rice were available until the cafe closed for the night. Purchasing detergent and using the laundry machines was seamless. I huge plus for me was netflix being available on the TV. I wasn’t a fan of the bath towel situation. They give you four hand towels in the room, but you have to get a bath towel from the front desk. Why not just stock them in the individual rooms? Overall it was a good experience and I would return."
