"The hotel was clean and convenient! It was very central to everything (huge plus!). However, it was SO hot. It is an older building so this is to be expected. Overall, it was a pleasant experience."

"Beautiful hotel. I paid extra for a deluxe double room, which was lovely overall. However, one downside—never mentioned during booking or at check-in—was that the room didn’t have an external window. Instead, it faced the bar area, so there was no natural light in the room."
