small room limited choices
The hotel location was alright, I guess. You could see some water if you leaned out the window far enough.
The room was smaller than my expectations. They gave me a 'Standard Room Non-Smoking', but it felt more like a closet. The breakfast choices was not great, not worth getting up early for.

excellent service great breakfast good location small room insufficient space uphill climbing
the breakfasts are excellent with great service. the hotel's location is pretty good too. i liked the front desk because it has a excellent service.
my room was painfully small. i lived out of suitcases because there isn't enough space. climbing uphill to get to attractions is annoying.
