Perfectly located for a weekend visit. Hotel is located in the entertainment zone so there is some weekend noise, but wasn’t that noticeable in the room. Room had all we needed, a little on the small side but the balcony was a nice little extra

Value for Money

A quick overnight stay was a delight at The Lucky. The room was quiet, cozy and comfortable, and the hotel was in a great location close to everything we needed. I would stay again if in the area.
