The hotel is located in a wonderful area, perfect for exploring the city. The rooms, while small, were ideal for my husband and me. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful. The dining options were good for starting the day. However, the rooms were not very spacious and lacked amenities, and being across from a noisy night club was a downside.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were stylish, well-designed, and clean, with a large and comfortable bed. The service was exceptional, from providing delicious coffee in the morning to ensuring our stay was smooth sailing. The location was perfect for us, close to transportation and in a stylish neighborhood. The dining experience was quite sufficient, and the facilities were excellent. However, there were minor issues with noise from the bed and door in the room, and the room not being ready upon our return from sightseeing.
