this hotel boasts a prime location near vibrant bars and clubs. the staff's kindness and helpfulness stood out. angelina, the bartender, was particularly gracious. i loved every minute of it, though the music from the nearby clubs could be heard at night.
i did find the hallway noise a bit disruptive, especially with young people being so active.
