The staff was super cute and gave great local advice! The included breakfast was also a fantastic addition! Beds were comfy, a detail I greatly appreciate after long travel days.
The music from the lobby and bar was loud. I wanted to rest early, but I couldn't sleep due to the music. It lasted until 11:00 p.m., and started again at 07:00 a.m.

The staff were friendly. and they provided helpful information. breakfast was satisfying with a nice array of choices. the hotel had complementary tea and coffee available at the bottom floor. the location worked well for exploring downtown. the room was cleaned each day, a simple touch. but very thoughtful. I liked that. the beds were comfortable for a nice sleep!
the sink was tiny in the room. it was not adjusted to the size of the armature, easy for water to spill onto the floor.
