central location helpful staff quick request

The hotel's central location proved very convenient. I could easily walk to shops and local attractions. Staff members were friendly and helpful. They quickly addressed my requests.

The bar's scent was noticeable upon entering the hotel. This might bother guests sensitive to smells.

a decent stay

comfy bed nice room decor great location no elevator strong smell noisy builders

The room was decorated nicely. it was clean. the bed was REALLY comfy. the location was great. Everything was a short walk away.

The hotel had no elevator. the lobby was essentially a bar, so it smelled strongly. the seating area could have been cleaner. i could smell cigarette smoke in my bedroom. builders were making noise in the morning. I wasn't told about it ahead of time.
