We booked a premium room which was pleasant and oversized but a bit plain. Overlooked an alley where a movie was being played at high volume (a special festival), but fortunately it stopped at about 9 pm. Staff were great. Excellent location, easy walk from cruise ship dock and great location from which to explore the city. Stairs from elevator to our room which was very inconvenient, but this only applied to some of the rooms on our floor.

We checked into the room and left the hotel after two hours. The room we are given (205) wreaked of mold as it was visible on the ceiling and around the A/C vent. The room we were moved to after complaining (420) also smelled moldy (albeit not as bad as 205) and the furniture was covered in dust. Both my wife and I developed headaches and were nauseous.
