"Convenient location, with a clean European feel to the hotel. Stayed close to their opening with only a few hiccups. Was able to check in early, but then cleaning tried to enter my room shortly after I checked in - mind you the room was already clean - thankfully was awake and hadn’t taken a nap yet. The AC also sounded like something from a horror movie rattling the wall, no sleeping with it on so had it on all day to cool the room then only fan at night. No elevator for bags, thankfully was only on the second floor and packed light but other travellers with checked bags on higher floors got a work out."
