The hotel was small but a great place to get your head down, very clean, and even had a little view of the city. The service was very helpful with all our needs, but some staff members seemed indifferent. The location was excellent, close to all the theatres and restaurants we wanted to visit, but the view from our window was of noisy generators. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some limitations on breakfast options. The facilities were adequate, but some areas like the outdated iPod charging station needed attention.
