I had a great time staying at this hotel. The room was comfortable, and we got a fantastic deal. The location was convenient, with plenty of dining options nearby, but the noise from the street could be a bit bothersome at times.

The room had a small private terrace with French doors and a comfortable bed. The fairly large bathroom lacked a door, only a curtain separating it from the bedroom; however, it wasn't a major issue for us. We landed a huge deal on the room.

I had a memorable stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the location was superb, surrounded by fantastic dining options. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was delightful, even surprising us with a special gift for my husband's birthday. However, the noise from the street could be heard in the room, and the thin doors didn't provide much sound insulation.

The hotel rooms are not as beautiful as in the pictures, had significant wear in spots, but they were spacious and had everything we needed. The atmosphere was quite warm apparently controlled by the same thermostat as reception, though the reception seemed cooler.
