Good, but noisy building

The stay was nice, people were helpful, but the noise level in the hotel is high. The walls are incredibly thin and the front door is used constantly by staff starting at 6:45 in the morning and slams shut every time. It was incredibly loud and disruptive.

Beautiful view of entire city from bar & patio!

Excellent location to avoid city center, was very quiet, small room but had everything you need, short very do-able walk to city centre, staff were all very kind and helpful, on-street parking but was not a problem getting a spot. But even better than all of that for us was the bar and patio in the back. So cozy and beautiful with a spectacular view of entire city. And at night the view is stunning with city lights.

I was in Room 2. The cleanliness in the bathroom was bad. Shower area had NUMEROUS places with black mold. We did not notice the mold until in the morning after daylight. When we took a shower the water seal on the shower leaked out on the floor. The flooring is tile and appears to be buckling up on the edge of the shower pan. The transition from the bathroom to the room is unfinished. I took photos to support my claims and will produce copies of the photos if requested. Parking is a situation where if you get a spot you are lucky.
