This property is great and centrally located. It is within walking distance to many restaurants, pubs and shopping. I asked not to be near a wedding party or animals and they gave us a room out of the way. I had a bad experience with this in the past but they heeded my request and it was awesome!

Very small room, especially for a king size bed. Tiny and almost useless pillows for the king bed. Windows allow much street noise like music from a club or restaurant party across the street. Otherwise, bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, shower nice. Breakfast was okay. There was an issue about the amount of the charge for the pet fee (Expedia showed a different amount than the hotel shows on their website) but that was finally resolved after some initial back and forth discussion. Overall a 3.5-star experience.
