Legacy Ottoman Hotel
Wonderful location, good price. Clean and comfortable. Great service. Only thing…. Those italian shower get the bathroom floor wet and it damages the bathroom door. I guess it is bad engineering… that being said with the change of towel every day, it is not too much of a problem.
