simple stay with nice perks

free parkingclean roomfriendly staffgreat location
this hotel provides free parking, it was very useful in an expensive area. my room was clean and tidy, i liked the minimalist design. the location felt great for city exploration, restaurants are nearby. the staff were friendly and accommodating, that helped a lot.
the street outside was noisy, this made sleeping difficult because i could hear traffic through the door.

constant trafficthin walls
I was not pleased with the noise level. The constant traffic sounds made it difficult to sleep. The walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations next door and people walking above. This lack of soundproofing really detracted from any relaxation I hoped to have at night. It made hauling my luggage a real chore.

i found that early checkin was possible. the room was quite spacious and very clean. the hotel provides free parking although it operates on a first come first served basis. complimentary coffee, tea, and chocolate were available in the reception area.
the older building means footsteps and cars are audible.
