the staff were helpful and happy. the location was great and the breakfast was excellent. the bed was really big for tall people.
there were two issues with my stay. one, the bar outside the hotel is busy at night. there are people partying until 3am every night. the room was directly above it, and i could hear people outside all night long.

mediocre experience.

clean roomair conditioningstreet noise
the room was clean, i guess, that was something.
the air conditioning didn't work properly. it was either too cold or too hot. also, the noise from the street kept me awake half the nights, even though i requested a quiet room. i asked to get a room far from the street, but they said they didn't have any available.
