Me and a friend stayed here for a week and overall is was good! The location was very safe and we had many walkable options for food, groceries, etc. Management was also very helpful and it was an affordable option. The hotel also had a very nice city view on the terrace. The only issue is the website did not make it very clear that the entire floor you stayed on all shared 2 bathrooms. The bathrooms were clean but if you are looking for convenience and better privacy, this is not the place. My friend and I did not care much, but most people would want their own toilet and shower. Our whole room was also the size of my walk-in closet so space was practically none. If you are here for a quick stay and don’t necessarily care about “luxury”, this would be a good option!

I was not a fan of having to pay a discretionary fee upon arriving and also having to be in a room with bunk beds and use a communal shower and toilet, but would recommend if you need a quick stop.

I don't like to wite bad reviews but I just couldn't sleep at this hotel, even after the manager kindly moved me to a different room on a different floor it was the same problem. The constant door slamming was the main issue, it would go on continually all through the night and you could hear every single noise from your neighbors ( coughing, talking etc) because of the lack of soundproofing.
