The bedding needs to be majorly upgraded. Need new linens better pillows a stylish comfortable coverlet and better mattress or mattered pad. It was a very uncomfortable sleep for a quite high priced hotel. Also the shower is terrible with mould and rust and it leaks. Breakfast and location are lovely

Liked: Staff & service
The location is conveniently located with tons of restaurants to choose from. The building is pretty dated so don’t expect anything too modern. The WiFi doesn’t really work which is fine with me. We did have a situation that no towel was provided and there were no bedding for the sofa bed. The staff came with us and quickly fix that. Overall a good experience.
