Great staff and I love the location which is walking distance to restaurants and sites. The rooms are sufficient for a short stay, I stayed here twice and got the exact same room both trips. Having the beautiful lobby, bar, and rooftop makes the place feel more spacious. No elevators but the view from the rooftop is worth the exercise.
