The hotel is a bit of a hidden gem in terms of location, close to various attractions. The rooms were spacious and tidy, but the multiple flights of stairs can be exhausting. The service was a mix of professional and accommodating but didn't quite meet expectations. The dining options were rather limited, although the facilities like dry cleaning and housekeeping were notable.
