sticky floor street noise
the location was fine, i could walk to many places i wanted to see.
my room wasnt cleaned very well, i found hairs in the bathroom sink and the floor was sticky near the desk, it seemed like a quick wipe down was all they did. also, the noise from the street was loud, even with the windows closed, i could hear traffic all night. i did not sleep well there was too much noise from outside.

Excellent Stay with Great Amenities
helpful staff good selection convenient location coffee shop
The front desk staff was very helpful. The cafe offered a good selection (I loved the pastries). The room had temperature control. I appreciated the fast, free Wi-Fi access available throughout the hotel. I found the bed very comfy, ensuring a restful sleep each night. The location was convenient. I found it easy to walk to nearby attractions and restaurants. The room was modern with a large tv. A Nespresso machine was available with complimentary pods. The bar area had good seating. I enjoyed the coffee shop next door. I appreciated the water pressure in the shower (it was perfect after a long day).
I noticed there were no drawers for storing clothing in the room. (It was a minor inconvenience.)
