The location is central. I found everything within walking distance. The staff provided excellent service! They were helpful and courteous. The cleaning staff left a note. I appreciated their thoughtfulness! This level of attention is rare.

The rooftop bar lacked a little atmosphere, though the views were still enjoyable. It's a small point.
