Average stay. Some issues noted

convenient locationpoor soundproofingdisrupted sleep
The hotel has a good location. It is close to many attractions.
I FOUND the lack of soundproofing a real PROBLEM. I could hear EVERYTHING. Toilets flushing and staff preparing breakfast early. One night, loud noises from another guest further disrupted my sleep. IT was hard to get GOOD rest.
