I had a decent stay at this hotel, with a lot to appreciate in terms of location and breakfast quality. The room, however, left much to be desired, as it was hot and had an unpleasant odor when we arrived. The staff tried their best to assist us, which was helpful. The hotel is conveniently close to many attractions, making it a good base for exploring downtown. Still, some aspects, such as room comfort and noise, were disappointing.
