quiet street helpful staff good location

The hotel sits on a quiet street near the river. I found many shops and restaurants within walking distance, this was very convenient. The staff was super helpful and accommodating to several requests.

The pillows had a weird smell so I had to ask for other replacements.

convenient location easy access comfortable bed faulty hairdryer unusable tv missing setup

The subway station was right across from the hotel. it made traveling around the city very simple. many places to eat were very close (i especially liked the variety). the bed was super comfortable. I slept really well each night.

the hairdryer in the room worked only half the time. i couldn't seem to get it going consistently. the tv in the room was not set up when i arrived. i was not able to use it.

friendly receptionist comfy bed expensive parking narrow stairs

the receptionist was helpful and very friendly. the room was large with a comfy bed! the following day, the breakfast was great with a buffet to start with and a full cooked breakfast.

Parking costs a fortune, you have to download an app to pay. i wish i had known that the hotel didn't have an elevator. Our room was on the third floor. the stairs are narrow.
