The staff at this hotel were exceptional when assisting me with some difficult circumstances.They went above and beyond in their efforts to assist me. I am very grateful for the kindness they extended to me.
Front desk and all other staff were very nice. Let us early check in. Most hotel hardware looks too old.

Goobut keep your belongings locked
Hotel stay was ok, its location was good
as was the breakfast. However we had an incidente where a necklace of one of our group members that were on the table was lost during the time that we were out and it was not recovered. Recomend that you keep your personal belongings locked in any trip that you make.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was helpful and nice. The property was basically a safe place to stay. The room with three twins was cramped and basic. It was clean but nothing fancy. The area was ok and not too far from some light shopping and cafes. We were there in May, their fall, so maybe there just wasn’t a lot going on in general but I would not recommend this hotel unless you’re on a shoestring budget and don’t mind basic accommodations
The hotel is located very conveniently, that's about all the positive feedback I could provide.
The rooms are dated, the pillows are horrible, there walls must be very thin because we could hear every single conversation in the neighbors room, the bathroom was very old and had a bunch of exposed cables. I've had better stays at a motel 6 for less money.

Noisy room
Good hotel location, but our rooms were not great and old. In specifics room with number 01-03 no matter the floor, they are facing street with noisy bar, window is only 1 layer so we could hear clearly the conversations from the street below (btw. we stayed on 7th floor)
We can hear conversations in the hallway too, other room doors closing.

Upon booking the reservation I was excited as I’m thinking the two rooms that were forced upon my family of 5 was connected. To my surprise it was NOT! We got two twin beds in both rooms. We only used one. We bundled together to enjoy our stay. Our trip was short so I didn’t want to pay expensive hotel for our 36hr layover.
Around the area is so much to explore but due to the rain we didn’t get a chance to do much.
Water pressure was great—-> very HOT water but that’s the way I like it!
Breakfast was mainly pastries and since I’m not really a breakfast of eggs and pancake person it was enough for me.
The rooms definitely needs updating however, it’s not a hostel environment.
Shower had rust looking pipes. The towels could be washed better.
It was all in all a different environment than I’ve ever experienced.
The staff were helpful and knowledgeable to let us know where we could have gotten food from and taxi cabs.
They also exchanged our USD at the hotel.
