Everyone was really nice and the room was cleaned every day. The best part they had a filtered water system you could refill your bottles with fresh cold water. We loved our stay!
Julia, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel was excellent and clean, only issue was that the A/C is kept off so the room was really warm when we got in and the showers are pretty small. Other than that it was a great stay in a safe and convenient location. The nespresso machine was great!
Miguel Angel, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice decor. Comfortable bed. Good coffee. Small room for the price. Common spaces were warmer than I'd expect on a hot day. Shower didn't drain well.
