street noise constant slamming

The rooftop pool did provide some relief after a long day.

The noise from the street was relentless. Sleep seemed a luxury, not a guarantee. My room's proximity to the hotel restaurant meant I endured the constant slamming of a door all evening. That door needed some serious WD-40 or perhaps a controlled explosion.

amazing gothic quarter find!

central location amazing view

I really loved the hotel's central location. It's tucked away from the main street. i found that the hotel was more like an apartment with a amazing view! the staff was on point, and the service was the BEST!!!

my room faced a busy plaza, and i did hear a lot of street noise, even with the new windows. worse yet, my room was above the busy restaurant entrance, so i heard that door open and shut constantly.

loud air conditioning insufficient counter space

The room faced an inner courtyard. The view consisted primarily of ventilation ducts. the air conditioning unit was quite loud. It. i also found that the bathroom lacked sufficient counter space for toiletries. the shower pressure fluctuated, so maintaining a consistent water temperature was challenging. these issues detracted from what should have been a relaxing stay.
