This hotel was great. The rooms are a little small, but my wife and I were exploring all day so the space was perfect just to come back and rest. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a great area that makes walking to sites easy. The rooftop view is awesome, a nice cherry on top of everything.

The staff were so patient and they always pay attention to you and everything I needed. They helped me right away like within seconds and I came from Canada so they were very accommodating with my payments and they all gave me attention. The elevators were quick, and the top roof showed an amazing view of the buildings.

It was a great cheap option, in a good location!! I wish the bathrooms were a tad bit cleaner, but that might just be me being picky! AC worked so well, rooms were cleaned during the day, and everything worked perfectly. The bar right downstairs was also very welcoming. Wish i made it to the breakfast.
