This hotel is literally close to everything. If you are a walker you can actually walk to most of the markets and all subways. Only thing the room is really small but you do have your own bathroom. It's worth the price to have privacy.

It was a wonderfully big room however it stains on carpet and couch. Also the shower curtain had mold on it. Beds were really comfortable so overall it was ok for a short stay.
