The staff was helpful. The location was close to restaurants. My room was beautiful. I appreciated the cleanliness and presentation.

The small bed was an issue. There was no closet. The sink was practically in the room, and I could hear noise from the bar sometimes.

The hotel's location is convenient. It is near the center. A metro stop sits right outside the main door, it is helpful. The hotel has been remodeled recently with good taste. It feels like an extension of home.

The sink and shower were practically in the room, I felt a lack of privacy. There was no wardrobe, I was missing more storage space.
