10/10 would stay here again!
Pros:

The location and the cleanliness were great! The bed was comfortable the staff were extremely nice and welcoming. I felt safe in this location and felt cared for during my entire stay.

Cons:

The walls are thin, as in any hotel, and there was a few incidents in which someone was fighting in the hallway and fighting loudly in the room next door to me.

No sound insulation. Don't stay here if you appreciate good night sleep
Pros:

The room was nice and clean.

Cons:

We chose this hotel because we had an early flight the next morning, but unfortunately we didn’t get any sleep at all. Guests on our floor were partying the entire night: slamming doors, yelling, laughing, and playing music.

There is essentially no sound insulation, so every bit of noise carried into our room. I was very disappointed with our experience, both due to the lack of consideration from other guests and the apparent lack of hotel policies or enforcement regarding quiet hours.

Overall I enjoyed my stay :)
Pros:

Everything was exactly how it was described, nice bed and TV. Room was small but well layed out.

Cons:

The water from the sink smelled like really bad toilet water but the shower water was fine. I just brushed my teeth in the shower.
