“This property strikes me as a fairly standard offering, prioritizing functionality over flair. Its location, while convenient for some attractions, may require a bit of a trek to the city's central sites. The hotel needs serious renovations and might be better suited for those prioritizing ease of access for Uber pickups over immersive neighborhood exploration; the barman seems to be the only exception in the friendly staff.”
