Great location, serviceable hotel.
Pros:

Location is unbeatable, really that’s what you’re paying for here. The building is cool.

Cons:

The beds are very short, the lighting in the rooms is completely whack - split the lines for each light so you can use different ones, use warm globes and more than just one bedside light on one side.

Would stay again 😊
Pros:

Very clean
Good location

Cons:

Mattress uncomfortable…,probably needs turning over. Felt like there were quite a few single sleepers in the queen bed and the mattress sort of dipped down in that position.
