The hotel had well-presented rooms with a sliding door between them for privacy, but the ground floor location next to renovations and drilling made it noisy. The price was amazing, though.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good. The rooms were relatively small, but still functional, and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was minimalistic, and there was some noise from the adjoining room. The location was convenient and close to a fantastic cafe, but the cleanliness was lacking in some areas. The dining options were a bit overpriced for what was offered. Service varied from unaccommodating to friendly and helpful. The facilities were decent overall.
