Clean and spacious enough for business trip. It is only blocks away from the main shopping district. Next to the city hall, which is closed after business hours, which means quiet. Got Uber easily in front of the hotel.

A nice hotel with just one issue…

This hotel was fine and in a convenient location. The only downside was the huge step up/down from the bathroom into the guest room, which was so high, it could easily cause a fall or sprain if you forget.
