My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although clean, were plagued by noise from a nearby piano bar and a strong cooking smell. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and helpful. The location was excellent for exploring on foot, but lacked greenery. Dining options were limited, but the hotel was well-equipped with facilities.
