Superbly central, very conveniently located just 4 steps (literally) away from the Airport bus stop. Hotel cleanliness and room exceeded our expectations for what seemed to be a run-of-the-mill tourist hotel.

Located right next to bus stop for airport. Great breakfast. Very nice staff. Nice, clean, quiet room with fast internet. Tons of restaurants nearby. Not far from Cathedral.
