The hotel had a lot of extra fees for amenities that you have to pay for daily even if you don’t use them. Our AC in our room was broken for a full day and a half. The phone didn’t work and some of the light switches were working off and on. The bed wasn’t as comfy as we hoped. They resolved the air issue but it was all pretty inconvenient and not what I expected from a hotel of that caliber.

Good place to stay a few days

It was a great place to stay. I would recommend it for people who mostly want to do stuff outside of their hotel room since the room was so small. But the location was great, the building is beautiful, and I was comfortable in my single queen bed room. The cafe downstairs serves good food, too. Just be warned that, at least in my room, there were no drawers to store clothing, though there was a closet and a few hangers.

The property needs to be fully renovated. The air conditioning is too loud and dated. The windows are thin, not sound proof and you hear everything on the street. The bathrooms are tiny, with sinks smaller than ones on airplanes.
