I found the location convenient! it was right by the gare st jean and the tram line was just outside the hotel. the staff were friendly and always ready to help! i was pleased that my room was very clean and tidy. the shower was excellent. It had great water pressure!

The room i stayed in was a bit small. And i found that the air conditioning wasn't working as well as i'd hoped, but it was a minor issue.
