I found the location quite convenient, very close to city hall. the kitchenette in the room was a definite plus, stocked with dishwasher tablets. also, the variety of pillows available ensured a comfy sleep. I slept SO well. i appreciated having free laundry services available.

the room i had smelled of old smoke, which wasn't pleasant. the walls near the bed seemed dusty, needing a refresh. it's a very slight negative but worth addressing .

The hotel includes a restaurant attached to the building. This is very nice for quick meals. though i noticed there weren't many other restaurants immediately surrounding the hotel, reaching options was still fairly convenient. THE bar downstairs seemed popular.
