Hotel was nice and close to downtown. Bed was uncomfortable and pillows get lost between the wall and the bed frame. The floors and walls are also paper thin. Can hear people walking above very loudly throughout the night and people talking next door. Walls are so thin we could hear people zipping their suitcases.
