My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very clean and well-appointed, offering great comfort. The only downside was the noise from the front area of the hotel throughout the evening. It was a cozy place to meet with friends before heading out, and even with the noise outside, the room remained warm enough without closing the window.
