We loved staying at this hotel! It is right in the middle of the action, which makes it easy to get everywhere you want to go. It does get loud out in the street, but if you don’t mind that like us, then you’re good to go! It has AC and a lovely bathroom. Very clean and the staff is kind.

The room was tiny and getting there was up and elevator down a hall and uo some stairs and down another hall. Even though the room was tiny it had good storage space and great amenities. Definitely better for agile travelers.
