The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. The staff was fantastic, the location was very close to lots of good restaurants. I wish our room looked out onto the street instead of towards the center of the hotel. Be warned it is loud on Fri and Sat nights until around midnight since they have live music in the lobby. I enjoyed it and could fall asleep regardless.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was nice, the food good, but the music on the square Friday and Saturday night ruined the experience. It wasn’t just loud, the bass shook our room and gave us both headaches. No matter that it was over by 9:00 p.m.; the damage was done. We cannot recommend the hotel because of the noise pollution.

disappointing service

The hotel is very well located and practical. However, the staff is not particularly customer-oriented. I asked for a coffee spoon for the room to stir my coffee, and they reluctantly provided one, telling me that standard rooms don’t include spoons. I also requested an additional empty glass to take medication and received the same type of response. While they eventually brought both items, it was quite disappointing that I had to insist for such basic requests.
