Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers convenient parking but rooms may not be suitable for light sleepers due to potential noise issues. The staff is welcoming and hospitable while the central location provides easy access to nearby attractions, even though additional fees may apply for parking. Dining options are limited onsite, but guests can enjoy breakfast from nearby establishments. Overall, it's a decent choice for those looking for a central location with friendly service.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although clean, were plagued by noise from a nearby piano bar and a strong cooking smell. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for exploring on foot, but lacked greenery. Dining options were limited, but the hotel was well-equipped with facilities.
