I loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable with a king-size bed, reliable wifi, and ample closet space. The service was top-notch, with super friendly and helpful staff ready to assist with anything you need. The location was perfect for exploring the city's attractions on foot, and the street noise didn't disturb my stay. The dining experience, while decent, could use some improvement, but overall, it was a wonderful place to stay.
