The hotel's location was REALLY convenient. It was a short walk to many attractions. The room was clean and well-kept. I appreciated the complimentary coffee in the lobby EVERY morning.

The room I had was quite small. The noise from the street was noticeable at night. The check-in process took longer than expected. I waited in line for about 25 minutes.

Decent Location, Some Issues

central locationshower temperature

The location was acceptable. It was reasonably central to the areas I wanted to visit.

The shower temperature was a joke. It swung wildly between scalding hot and freezing cold. I spent most of my shower doing a dance to avoid getting burned or flash-frozen, not exactly the relaxing experience I was hoping for.
