My room included complimentary snacks and water, a very nice touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful during my entire stay. I appreciated the central location, as it provided easy access to various attractions. Public transportation was also easily accessible from the hotel.

i found the staff friendly. they sent a champagne for my anniversary which i thought was a sweet gesture. the location was great for walk to historical sites and shopping, this made the exploring easier. the fitness center was well appointed, it had everything i needed.
i notice guests receive no advance notice about a usd 200 deposit, i think the hotel should communicate this better. the urban fee of usd 46 was also a surprise, its transparency could be better.
