"Great location. I didn't like the lack of privacy in the bathroom since there was a curtain instead of a door. I could hear conversations from neighboring rooms and dance music from a late-night club. The free afternoon wine was nice, and the complimentary breakfast exceeded my expectations. Bring ear plugs to this hotel.2017-08-12"
