I had a great stay at this hotel! The location was quiet yet close to many restaurants, which was a big plus. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, making me feel at home. However, finding food late at night was a bit challenging since it was a little far from the tourist areas. Overall, for the price, it was a good value, but not without its minor inconveniences.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. It’s located on a quiet street which still puts you within walking distance of a variety of nearby restaurants and attractions. The rooms were comfortable and had a nice balcony, although they could have used a little extra TLC. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I found the dining options a little lacking, especially for breakfast. All in all, it’s a great spot for the price, but there are a few areas that could be improved.
