Love the convenience of the hotel and it’s classic look specially having a Starbucks next-door the restaurant was good too. The piano entertainment was great. The bartender was great the only thing I like about this hotel was the very small room for the toilet. I’m a medium size man and it was difficult for me. I can imagine someone bigger understandable that there’s not much space and it’s the older building may be worth check it out, not sure if all the rooms are the same

Overall a disappointing stay. We were in a very tiny room with an awkward layout. The TV wasn’t aligned in a way that faces the bed. The building seemed quite old and there were lots of stains especially on the walls near the floor. It doesn’t seem like it was cleaned thoroughly. The bathroom was tiny and there were some ?pipe sounds that was nonstop. We asked to move d to a bigger room after having a not-so-great first night and the first front desk person was helpful and told us to ask later on after 4pm when checkout was done, which seemed reasonable. When we got back and I asked again, the night shift front desk gentleman seemed annoyed that I even asked. He said there were some rooms available but were facing towards the area where there were protests. The location itself is pretty good as it’s centrally located and there were many shops and restaurants that were walkable. Anyway, I was a bit disappointed overall as this place had really good reviews and I just didn’t have a great experience.
