Overall, not a bad stay. I was only there for about 4 nights, room was a on the smaller side but the bed was comfortable and I had an excellent view of the city from my room. Only complaint I had was that the keycard repeatedly failed to work after housekeeping left the room and I had to constantly go to the front desk to get it sorted. Not a bad spot, would stay again.

It is no frills but is very, very clean. Close to a lot of food options. If you are not looking for a resort feel (free breakfast, coffee, etc.), this is the hotel for you!
