Excellent Central Hotel

central location super clean room good breakfast
The front desk staff was cute. The location is central. You can reach many points of interest on foot. The hotel was super clean throughout, and the room was well maintained. I enjoyed the breakfastwith a good selection of items.
I was charged for the coffee capsule used in the room! though this seems very cheap.

The hotel is located in a central shopping district. A Metro stop is very near the hotel. Main attractions are within walking distance of the hotel. Though the crowds were abundant.
