I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, the rooms were nice and spacious, and the location was great for exploring downtown. However, the lack of a view outside the room and a minor issue with my credit card being charged twice were a bit inconvenient. The service was friendly and accommodating, making up for these small hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of nearby restaurants. However, the room was not as described, small, and cramped, with a disappointing view of a brick wall. The staff's attitude was off-putting, making me hesitant to raise any concerns during my stay.

The hotel had just the right size rooms that were clean and suited our needs perfectly. The service was very friendly and helpful, especially when my sister misplaced her keys and wallet. The location was good as it allowed us to easily reach the top attractions and was relaxing. The dining experience offered some choices but could be better in terms of value for money.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city, but the room's outdated decor and noise levels were disappointing. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always ready to assist, while the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable overall, but I noticed a musky smell on the first night that wasn't pleasant. The bed was not as big as expected, and the view was disappointing with just a brick wall. On the bright side, the night was peaceful with minimal noise.

The service is outstanding with incredibly friendly staff. The location is fantastic, offering easy access to various places of interest, but can be noisy due to nearby ongoing parties.
