“Location is a definite plus, placing you within a short walk of attractions and eateries. The building itself seems to have a history, perhaps as a converted office space, lending it a particular feel. While experiences appear inconsistent-some rooms feeling worn, others offering restful sleep-the convenience of the area stands out.”
