Nice location-I wouldn't call it "close" to the train station since it's a half hour walk. Great staff, comfortable room, right around the corner from the Roman Theatre and very much where the action is.Overall pleasant stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was an amazing property - extremely well located. Within easy walking of the waterfront (cruise pier), and several major attractions such as the Roman theater. The property itself is amazing. The lobby area is very nice and comfortable. Elevators are a nice size and pretty fast. The room we had had a nice queen size bed, a very efficient bathroom with a walk-in shower. The entire hotel is set up as an extension of its name - The Modernist. Extremely clean facility - the breakfast and bistro are is also quite nice. Breakfast offered a nice variety of foods all very tasty. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
