Ask if there’s construction going home before staying here. The location is good.
Pros:

I liked the location and it was clean.

Cons:

I wasn’t told there was construction going on and there was a strong chemical smell in our room like nail polish remover and the windows didn’t open so I couldn’t air it out.

The hotel and rooms are great, the location not.
Pros:

The breakfast was really good and had a variety of everything. You could get hot drinks and tea anytime in the lobby which I really enjoyed. The room service was daily and great. Also you could get a free parking for each room.

Cons:

The location is not really good if you are looking for a touristic area and you don't have a car and don't wanna use ride share services. There is not a lot of places you can walk to from the hotel.
Also our room was in the back next to parking which I thought could be better if I could get another room.

Not recommend staying here for the price
Pros:

Good location & friendly staff. The hotel air conditioning was great. The free internet was ok but at times disconnected.

Cons:

Not recommend; towels smelled dirty and so did the blankets. I don’t think they were washed properly (replaced) prior to our arrival. Call for room service & they didn’t answer but provided more toilet paper once we went to office to request. The outlets were loose & didn’t work properly. Refrigerator old and difficult to close. The clock was not functioning either. We stay at a lot of hotels but this is new for us. Not good at all for the price.
