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.

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: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Undergoing renovations/construction. Overall good.

Basic older-ish hotel in a Central location, in a decently safe area. Would recommend. The only thing is it was under renovation when I stayed. And in my case, I was put in a room right next to the construction. So the hallway was in upheaval and the construction noise was kind of annoying. Maybe ask for a room NOT (next to/on the same floor/ below) the construction.
