The best part was being next to downtown. Everything was walkable and I felt extremely safe. There were 2 downsides. First, the room I was in had stairs with no elevator. I had to carry all my luggage up a flight. They did not warn me of this at check in. Also the host at the restaurant was very unpleasant. I asked for a seat at the bar and she said it was a wait. I told her the bar had 2 people at it. She didn’t respond. She did me a favor, I ended up going to a sushi restaurant which was the best roll I may have ever had.

The bed was comfortable but thats where it ended. The walls are thin and could hear them nextdoor. Had to ask them to be quiet. The shower was broken, knob fell off and took 5 minutes to figure it out. Not sure l will return.

Overall it did the job

Location was perfect. Room layout was a bit odd. It was a loft with 2 queens were upstairs with a table and bathroom downstairs. Quite interesting if you need to get up and use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Overall the hotel was fine.
