Good service but old building with issues
Old building with small rooms, thin walls, and a terrible shower. The service was excellent and helpful, and the bed was comfortable, but I probably would not stay there again.

The bed was comfortable and decor upgraded. However, it felt like dressing up an outdated hotel - bathroom was sooo small, we could hear every word of the neighbors and the plumbing was original, poor condition. Impossible shower fixture that just spun on the handle. Rug around the bed was wet.
