The staff were friendly and helpful! the location was perfect, so close to everything i wanted to see and do. Breakfast at the hotel made mornings easy, i could just walk across the street for my tour. the newly renovated hotel bar is gorgeous, i really enjoyed relaxing there after a long day of exploring.
The room felt a little small and noisy. It was difficult to sleep well through the night. This issue affected my overall experience.

the bathroom wasn't very clean, and that bothered me. i noticed stains on the toilet, and i think it was from people who stayed before me. also, the shower water pressure wasn't strong enough, and it didn't give enough water. i expected better cleaning and a better shower for what i paid.
