mediocre stay with noise issues
acceptable locationnoisy roomoutdated hotel
the location was acceptable, close to many attractions and restaurants.
The room faced the street, so it was pretty noisy. the hotel looks a bit old and could use some updating. It felt a bit dated.

Breakfast had many options! Fresh fruits, breads, and cereals were available. The location was awesome! I walked to several attractions. An umbrella was in the room, useful during rain.
The bed wasnt comfortable. It gave me back aches. Heavy equipment was pretty loud, annoying.
