Great place! Excellent location and super clean. It really worth the price! I totally recommend this hotel if you’re visiting this magical place. This hotel doesn’t has car park as such, but free perking spaces are available less than 2 minutes walk. Keep in mind that the majority of places to eat open late and close early.
