The hotel offers spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet rooms, although there were some noise issues due to the streetcar passing by every 15-30 minutes. The location is excellent for exploring the city, within walking distance of major attractions, but it can be a bit noisy with the busy junction nearby. The service is top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The dining experience is varied, with delicious options available. Overall, a great stay with some minor noise disturbances.
