The hotel had beautiful staff and was located in the middle of downtown, making it very comfortable. However, there were some room issues like malfunctioning outlets and a phone that didn't work fully. The pricing was slightly higher but acceptable for a front-facing room, though there was still noticeable traffic noise.
