The photos look way better than the real deal. it's like they only show the fancy updated rooms but i got stuck in a small, super old room. also, the gym only had one working treadmill. The others were out of order. felt a bit cheated, not gonna lie.

musty roomthin walls
The room smelled musty. It was quite unpleasant. the carpets seemed old and possibly moldy. it, and i found myself wanting to spend as little time in the room as possible. also, the walls are thin and i could hear everything from the hallway and adjacent rooms.

Excellent City Stay

efficient check-inhelpful staffgreat workspacesecure luggage holding
I found the front desk check-in especially efficient. The staff provided helpful information about local transportation options. The room had a great workspace for conducting business (a definite plus for me). The hotel held my luggage securely after checkout, which allowed me to explore more of the area before my departure.
I noticed some wear on the carpets in the hallways. A minor refresh would be beneficial.

There are many diverse dining options within a short walking distance (it made trying new foods easy!). I found a nice cafe just around the corner that i visited every morning. Restaurants of various cuisines were all easily accessible.
