Within Walking Distance to Many Attractions
Although this hotel is located a bit away from the main area and all the noise, guests reported that all the major attractions they wanted to see were within walking distance. Some of the city's best restaurants are nearby and so are major transportation stops for easy access to areas further away.

There are Strange Smells Around the Hotel
Guests reported being hit with a variety of smells upon entering the hotel and again upon entering rooms. These smells include cigarette smoke, strong cleaning agents, musty, stale air and smells that couldn't be identified.

The Wi-Fi Service is Poor
There is no Wi-Fi service in the rooms although this is advertised. It only works in some areas of the hotel and the service is slow and intermittent at best.

The Parking Situation is Bad
The hotel doesn't have its own parking and guests discovered this upon arrival when the front desk told them they would need to find parking elsewhere. Guests reported having to park on the street and risk having their car vandalized or broken into.
