The staff were incredibly helpful and nice. However the beds and the overall condition of the hotel was not great. The area it’s amazing though everything in downtown is at a walking distance.

Friendly people good buffet breakfast for $7.50 each. The walls and windows are thin so you hear noises outside but did not bother me much. Needs some fixing which looks like they started to do on the 7th floor. Wood stay again since great location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was not clean, the bathroom was molded... the bathroom door did not work.... The towels were super old and stained... The beds were unconformable... The only reason I gave two stars is because the hotel had a convinient parking.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Older building, Easy registration 3rd floor. windows where old and you can hear the cars. The bathroom smell either to sewage or mold. Very little privacy with a vent in the main door. I don’t recommend a tub for people with disabilities or older because is mounted a high step and complicated to get out. The bed was comfortable. Hot water. 4 blocks from the catedral and Metro station. I recommend this hotel if you will be one or two nights for sleep and shower.
