Great location. Great place - nice decor. Room can be small but price is good. Just be aware some rooms face into the interior - they’re very quiet but no view.

This is a great property! All of the staff were helpful and friendly, my room was very clean, and the location is convenient to walk to everything. I was in room 232 on a Sunday night, and my only issue during the stay was that it is across from a disco that is very loud until at least 2 AM, and then as people left the club, they were being very loud in the street until about 3 AM. I would stay here again, but make sure to bring earplugs.

The location was excellent, the staff were super friendly & helpful, the hotel was clean, modern & beautifully decorated. My only complaint was that the room was tiny, getting into bed required acrobatics, very little room on either side. Next time I will request a bigger room.
