"Cute hotel. Location is in the heart of the city, if that’s your thing but it got loud and didn’t have the allure you’d expect. Staff was great except that our AC unit didn’t work and after calling/texting and waiting, we ended up fixing it ourselves because it was late. Also noticed the door to our room had a larger than usual gap under it which didn’t provide the privacy I’d like but didn’t cause any “issues” I suppose. Overall, a decent stay. "
