Solid stay close to everything

The hotel location is convenient. It is within walking distance of the city center, which i appreciated. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful. I was able to store my bags securely after checkout, VERY useful (i had a late flight). The pool was a great amenity for a refreshing dip after exploring.
The breakfast buffet was adequate but lacked some variety.
