adequate stay downtown

food offerings seating arrangements coffee chair sound water bottle receptionist attitude

the breakfast had diverse food offerings and nice seating arrangements. i liked that there was coffee in the room. the location was good, close to major museums..

i could hear chairs being dragged in the room next to mine. it was not a major issue for me. the hotel provides a free bottle of water every day... i requested a bottle of water on one of the days i opted for no housekeeping. i got told off by the receptionist for my request.

clean, central, and convenient

central location clean room excellent pressure

the location is central near public transportation options. i found many restaurants within walking distance, a definite plus. the room was clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure.

the room was a bit small, so storage space was limited.

average stay with some issues

broken elevator luggage issue

the breakfast was good with a decent variety of options.

The elevator did not work during my entire stay. This was not communicated beforehand. the hotel offered no compensation for the broken elevator. the staff packed my luggage and took it into custody while i was out, claiming i had spoiled a coffee brewer which didn't function.
