All in all a good stay.
Pros:

Great location - able to get around and see the city easily by foot or by tour bus.
Room was clean and comfortable - didn't love the view of the next building wall/windows outside my windows but I wasn't there for that.

Cons:

Middle of the night 3a fire alarm went off - outside for an hour maybe? Fire trucks came, apparently nothing found. No explanation or communication about it, even the next day.
Alarms not set up for anyone deaf - only alarm sounds, no flashing lights in the room (noticed during the 3a evacuation) Perhaps there are specific accessible rooms set up if a deaf person identifies themselves as such.
Front desk person seemed overworked and somewhat cranky with too many questions.

Disappointing and frustrating.
Pros:

Only a ten minute drive from our concert which was nice

Cons:

Front desk staff made an error with our booking and double charged us and were extremely unhelpful and unclear/confusing in their resolutions. It was eventually solved but not without having to call Booking.com and a lot of struggle and nearly being made late to our event and forcing all 7 of us to have to squish in one room and get ready. They gave us a breakfast voucher for the troubles but the breakfast was not very good and took an extremely long time.

Pros:

A walkable distance to reach where we needed to go. Staff was friendly and lobby was clean.

Cons:

Did not expect room service to be so late in the afternoon - phones are not labeled! Atmosphere walking down the corridor felt dark (nothing to do with the construction going on).
