The decor was dated, but clean enough. The rooms are really noisy. You’ll hear every time the neighbors close their closet or walk to the bathroom. The “skybar” is advertised but we were told is inaccessible all year because of private events. The area is safe and quiet-ish though. The pillows? Those things are heaven. The bathtub is a bit of a death trap.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff. Beds were very comfortable. Short distance away from major attractions. It is near some strip clubs, but not noisy at all. We had no issues.

Well located at a good price.

Really nice, clean hotel. Well located, within walking distance of major attractions with the added benefit of a bus stop outside for the hop on, hop off service. Only slight negative was the knowledge and communication of staff at breakfast. My wife is coeliac and the information varied depending on who you spoke to. She ended up using her own cereal to be safe.

The first room we were put in was very unclean. We were moved to a new room where the curtains we very unclean, they had large dirty marks all over them. I would not stay in this hotel again!!! The manager has promised money back from our stay but also promised he would put this in an email with in an hour. This was over 4 hours ago. Very disappointing!!!
