Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were tidy and easy to adjust the temperature, but it would have been better with air conditioning. The staff did offer to arrange one for me if needed. The views varied from a quiet internal atrium to a suite overlooking a busy street, affecting the ambiance.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, close to great cafes, with friendly and helpful staff. However, the rooms are starting to show some wear and the dining experience could use improvement. The facilities are satisfactory, offering dry cleaning, laundry, and valet parking services.
