"The room was clean and perfect for what we needed. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance of restaurants, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The music wasn't much of an issue for us; from our corner room, it sounded more like background music playing in the distance. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to walk up two flights of stairs, so be prepared if you're traveling with heavy luggage."
