superb experience in the heart of it all

this hotel was a gem during my travels. the location was perfect, near multiple train stations. the staff was friendly and able to answer all questions (i had many!). the bed was very comfortable and i appreciated the well-designed space with all the usual amenities.
the breakfast options, though adequate, could perhaps benefit from a slightly wider variety.
