The hotel was in a great location and very clean. Construction was happening in the morning according to a form left in the room, it should start at 8am. At 7:20am there was a worker trying to get into our room despite having the do not disturb sign up. When he couldn't get in, he went next door and started using power drills. We get construction has to happen at some point, but at least stick to the times you alot for it and give them a list of what rooms are occupied.

Convenient and comfortable.

The hotel is older and on a busy street, so it's not quiet. But they great you with a welcome drink at the bar, and the bed is comfortable. We only stayed one night due to flight delays, but the staff was friendly and it was totally sufficient for our needs.
