poor insulation fluctuating temperature

I found a couple of issues . The room was not well insulated. I could hear a lot of noise from the hallway and other rooms. Also the shower temperature fluctuated. It went from hot to lukewarm without warning making it uncomfortable.

convenient stay downtown

central location good value

the location was very CENTRAL for getting around. the room had everything i needed for a quick visit. the hotel provided good value for money in an expensive city. it allowed easy access to key attractions.

the surrounding area didn't feel that SAFE at night. it's important to stay vigilant when walking alone. the hotel should consider better lighting around its entrance to deter unwanted activity.

I found parking easily and was able to leave my luggage at the hotel. The room was clean and a good size. It was also great value for the money. The location allowed easy access to many places. The staff were friendly and always helpful. The beds were comfortable. I also liked having complimentary coffee available in the foyer. Check-in was easy and quick. Everything felt new and modern. I especially appreciated that I could fill up filtered water in the lobby. It was super convenient. The decor was stylish and nice. I found the staff cute, friendly, and always ready to assist me. The room had comfy beds. I loved the coffee machine. The coffee tasted good and cocoa was available too. The staff promptly provided the services I needed.

I noticed a slight bit of road noise in my room, so a quieter room on a higher floor might be preferable.
