Arlington Hotel O'Connell Bridge
Fantastic location Everything within walking distance or bus Love that I could open the window, no refrigerator in the room but there is a safe Everything was so clean. But one thing to perhaps update would be the shower curtain, it looked clean just a slight musty scent
