Wow this hotel is beautiful and great location... The room was very small but had everything you need. Hallways smelled amazing. It had a ceiling fan and I loved it to sleep. I will stay again comfortable and location is right where all the shopping, museums are everything walking distance.

Nice staff. Everything looked clean, but the building had a rotten odor. The location was pretty sketchy. Lots of drunk homeless men and panhandling.
