Clean and specious hotel on a busy, loud street
Pros:

Specious room with a comfy space and shelving units. Really big bathroom and a nice window.

Cons:

Location is it's pro and con, you can get to most touristy places from the hotel easily - but the hotel is on a very busy local street, tourists are not an issue but locals party all night and there is a lot of girls bars that people visit across the street - bring your earplugs.
