This hotel offers a convenient location within walking distance to major attractions and boasts a complimentary breakfast that many guests rave about. I found the atmosphere trendy and welcoming, even though the parking cost was quite high. While the room was tidy, it felt a bit dated and could use some updates. The evening reception added a nice touch to our stay, though it was bustling during peak times.
