“Location is a definite plus, placing you right in the heart of the Cathedral District. I get mixed signals; some report clean, comfortable rooms, while others describe significant cleanliness issues, including mold and dirty linens. This inconsistency makes it hard to recommend without reservation, despite the helpfulness of the reception staff.”
