a decent, central stay

helpful receptionvisible staffsmall bedroominconvenient rail
the hotel reception were helpful, they assisted with directions. our room was quite spacious despite the firm bed. cleaning staff were visible every morning, so cleanliness seemed a priority. there were variety of food options, and i did find something to eat.
the shower had a towel rail inside it, this felt inconvenient. i found the bedroom was quite small. the small bottle of water provided was extra, it did incur an additional charge. generic hair and body products were available but the dispenser did not work.

Central Hotel with Liberty Style Charm

quiet roomspacious bathroomcentral locationinconvenient access
My room was quiet and clean (I really appreciated that). The bathroom was spacious, a nice surprise. The location was good. I could walk to many sights from there. Breakfast had a good selection. It gave me a nice kick start for the day.
The hotel did not have an area to drive up to. I had to carry my luggage from the nearby parking garage, about a five-minute walk. It was a bit inconvenient.
