"I stayed one night and overall I really liked it. The room was a bit small for my liking, but it was very clean and the bathroom was beautiful — it had an amazing view of the city which I loved. The location is a big plus since it’s walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shops. They also offer valet parking which was super convenient. I would definitely stay here again and I do recommend it!"
