Acceptable stay, some issues noted

great location major attractions breakfast atmosphere nice atmosphere live music harp music tub shower shower combo tub ledge high ledge shower rain shower head

The location was great. It made walking to major attractions easy. The breakfast atmosphere was also very nice. I found the live music at breakfast with the harp added to the ambiance (especially nice with La Scala nearby).

The shower was a tub shower combo. The ledge to get into the tub was very high. At 5'9", i struggled to get in. Water got onto the bathroom floor because the shower rain head was in the middle of the tub and lacked a curtain.
