city center gem!

high ceilings convenient location

the room size was a pleasant surprise, especially the high ceilings and the window overlooking the street. it's convenient for a quick getaway, since almost everything is within walking distance. the shower had AMAZING pressure and the temperature was perfect!!!

The noise from the hallway was quite noticeable and interrupted my sleep. I could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. the window didn't open, and there was no vent in the bathroom, causing humidity after showering.

Location

the central area is just one block away with several main attractions, very handy. all main transportation lines stop in a square and station, located close to the hotel too. it is great to get around.
