10/10 Excellent
"Easy check-in and a beautiful lobby right off the bat. We loved the separate area with morning tea/coffee, and they kindly held our (many) bags after checkout. The room was beautifully decorated and comfortable, plus there's a fitness room my friend used. Only downside (not the hotel's fault): a daily protest a block away, roughly 7am–7pm — noisy but not unbearable. Bonus: a convenience store right across the street for drinks and snacks. Would stay here again."
