My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The rooms were clean and cozy, but the noise from the chillers outside was a downside. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of downtown, but the lack of proper desks in the room was inconvenient. The service was friendly and helpful, but there was an issue with assisting me on a specific matter upon my arrival.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. On the bright side, the rooms were offered at a lower rate and included convenient parking, but they were not prepared upon our arrival and felt a bit cramped, especially the bathroom area without enough counter space. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, with pleasant and helpful staff who quickly addressed any issues that arose.
