Central Location , but Several Issues

loud music slow service

The noise at night was a problem , with loud music from nearby establishments continuing late. Breakfast required a walk to another location and was quite disappointing. The selection was limited , and the service was slow. I waited a long time for my order , and when it arrived , the food was cold. This really detracted from the experience.

The staff was very cute and helpful throughout my stay. My room was an immaculate Superior Double Room. Little details like the quality coffee were a plus.

My room faced the street. It was NOISY. Loud music in the evening and shouting early in the morning made sleep difficult. I could not open the window because of restaurant smells. Ventilation was impossible.
