The location was really convenient, a definite plus.
Our room had some maintenance issues. The curtains were broken and difficult to close properly, this was quite annoying.

friendly staffpaper thin wallsawkward stay
the staff were friendly, and they put my bags in my room before check-in, a small touch that i liked.
the walls were very thin. i could hear everything. this was briefly noted by the hotel, but it needs to be clearer. it wasn't a great stay since i could hear my neighbours singing.

The room decor had a unique, interesting design. I really loved it. The bathroom was a main feature, and the hotel provided a bath bomb plus a bath whip. I appreciated the central location. It made getting around so easy.
The walls seem less than paper thin. I could hear everything.
