Location and staff make this a great place for a short stay. Would
Pros:

Location is fantastic, step outside and you are in the street well-known for food.
Staff are very friendly and helpful with recommendations and let us leave cases when we checked out. Also got into our room early which was great. We just stayed one night and the room was very comfortable for that.

Cons:

No issues, we were only staying one night and was perfect for our needs. Location is great and staff were really nice
