The room and amenities were perfect. There was some traffic noise which is probably unavoidable considering it's great location. Was treated unexpectedly very harshly by a staff member which tainted the stay. It's difficult to get luggage up the stairs if you're older.

Perfectly fine, great staff, and the room was spot on. Lag time on the TV deciding what it wanted to do was a little annoying, but that’s the only fault I can think of.
