city center gem!

high ceilingsconvenient locationnoticeable noise

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.
