Good for short stay. Room was extremely small. The bathroom was the size of a closet. When washing our face water would get all over because sink was barely bigger than a dinner plate. Lighting was awful and flickered. Maid left dirty washcloth near bed.

1 of 3 elevators out of service. Often waited multiple passes of elevator to get up and down to our floor. Over 10 minutes. The rooftop cafe/bar was closed for renovations or season and front desk staff did not make us aware of the mezzanine hangout or bar area. Front desk staff not super welcoming or friendly. Room was clean and maid service great.

Great location, poor quality

Great location and good vibe. But the amenities are nonexistent. There’s not even a cup in the room. Shower pressure and temperature were awful. There was also a very loud mechanical sound in the courtyard my room faced, which made sleeping quite difficult. Honestly I felt dirty and exhausted after 4 days in this hotel.
