Acceptable Stay with Room Issues
The hotel was in a good location, within walking distance of many popular places.
The room felt quite dated and wasn't thoroughly clean I found some cobwebs in the corner. The shower temperature was also inconsistent.

Amazing Stay!
helpful staff nearby attraction
The hotel staff was very helpful with directions and local tips! The location allowed quick access to nearby attractions and public transportation. I really liked how clean the room was. The housekeeping staff did an amazing job every day. I am super impressed. I loved having a cozy space after exploring all day!
The Wi-Fi was sometimes slow and unreliable! It made it difficult to stream videos or do video calls without interruptions, a little frustrating when I needed to work.

the shower tray had old, brown edges. i found the carpet dirty. i noticed a very poor lock on the bedroom door. the continental buffet breakfast did not meet expectations. the cheese slices were hard around the edges, indicating they had been out for multiple days.
