Looks nice, but won’t stay again.

At first we were impressed with this hotel, but it was incredibly loud at night. You can hear everything on the street and then an apparent heated domestic dispute among guests in the middle of the night went on for a very long time. After a rough night’s sleep we woke up to find their coffee machine had broken and there was no coffee available that morning. It definitely wasn’t worth the price we paid.
