Our room was spacious with 2 super comfy queen beds...comfy pillows too. It had a nice little entry with a bench and coat space which was nice in the cooler weather. The bathroom was very clean and roomy as well. We were able to spread out easily. We were very impressed with the room and would stay again. The hotel is a bit dated/old school but in good condition. But that is the whole vibe of the hotel. It was in a great location for strolling and shopping. And an easy uber to lots of sights. There is a bit of unhoused population in the area but it is no different than any part of the tourist area. Did not feel unsafe. Thanks for the hospitality.
