Nicely updated room in an amazing location! The beds are comfortable and the room felt clean until I looked under the beds - a chunk of some food item, a dirty Kleenex and other small crumbs made it clear that no one had vacuumed under there. I’d suggest some towel hooks, for the shower area and by the sink. Overall a nice place for a good price. I would give it another try in the future.

Positives: The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The views from the balcony were amazing. Negatives: Outlet with TV/Cable plugged in to it is hanging out of the wall! (Dangerous) Sink barely drains. Room could use some cosmetic fixes and decor to make it more appealing.

Room was clean and even though hotel is older, the room had been updated and was nice. Very happy with our stay. Only one slight issue, the water pressure for the shower was pretty weak but it still got the job done! Location was fabulous though and I would stay here again.

Best location

Great location right downtown. Walking distance from restaurants, bars, and shops. The room was a little older but that’s to be expected for an older building. The beds were comfy and there was a fridge to keep food and drinks cold.
