    The room was very spacious with a lovely view. The bathroom had everything one needs, and I could relax in a real bath instead of shower! Neighbourhood was lively but quiet enough in the evening to sleep.

    Breakfast credit 50 bucks is really good - with the credit you can access the resto/bar on the ground floor and the food is very nice.
