Just ok experience, lots of issues
amazing locationpoor acunserviced room
The location was acceptable, within walking distance of many attractions.
The a/c in my room barely worked, REALLY frustrating. There was a kettle without a nearby outlet, so I had to request an extension cord. After a long day, I returned to find my room hadn't been serviced. That was UNACCEPTABLE.

The room felt outdated. I had to ask for a room change since it wasn't up to standard. the staff at breakfast did not seem accommodating. They might need more staff to improve service. Not just one, but multiple.

the location proved quite practical. it allowed easy access to key landmarks.
the tv system did not work during the entire four-night stay. there was also a strong cleaning product smell present in the corridor on our floor. the breakfast service was notably slow, and the staff seemed inattentive. it was difficult to obtain simple things such as cream for coffee.
