This property is located very conveniently to all of the major attractions. You could walk down to the main areas by the River or take a Uber/Bolt. The hotel rooms are very spacious and it is located in a quiet residential area. Not much to do in the area. Airport is about 20-25 minutes away. Would stay here again

The staff were exceptional! The lobby is lovely as well as the rooms. However, the only suggestion I would make is for the hotel to: * Ensure that the air conditioning works properly (it could not cool the room down). * Maintain the exterior of the building as meticulous as they maintain the interior spaces - the outside structure needs some upkeep.

When we arrived in the room it was warm. We turned on the AC and adjusted the thermostat. We then went out for dinner. When we returned 1 hour later the temperature was the same. Vent was blowing air that was not particularly cool. We called the front desk and they explained the AC was not on nor would be turned on as it was cool outside. We checked out
