The hotel delighted me with beautiful, spacious rooms that had great light; an upgrade to a suite was a pleasant surprise. However, the street noise late at night was a minor drawback.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of historic downtown with easy access to all the high-end designer shops and tourist spots. The rooms, however, were rather dated, especially the bathroom facilities, and my room faced a white decrepit wall, which wasn't the most uplifting view.

I had a comfortable stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, though choosing a room not on the first floors is recommended to avoid cigarette smoke smell from the hallway. The early garbage clearing at 06:30 was a bit inconvenient.
