The beds were very very firm and it didn't get quiet until well past 11pm, even though there was a 11pm spund curfew. Other than that my stay was nice amd the staff was very friendly and helpful. Cameras everywhere so i also felt very safe.

First of all, the location of the hotel was excellent, with many restaurants nearby, making it very convenient. During check-in, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, which I truly appreciated. The bedroom was comfortable and clean, providing a cozy space to relax. Since the hotel is located downtown, there was occasional loud noise from the street, but it wasn’t a major issue. The bathroom was clean, private, and spacious, meeting all my needs. Additionally, I had the chance to make some wonderful new friends during my stay, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a great stay, and I’d happily recommend this hotel to others!
