This hotel is a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are spacious with a 6 ft bed, a large walk-in shower, and great blackout curtains, but noise from the street below was a bit disturbing, especially with loud bar music late at night. The hotel provides exemplary service, with incredibly friendly staff willing to assist with anything and everything. The location is faultless, offering a central spot close to various entertainment options, but some noise disturbances from the surroundings could be bothersome.
