“The vibe is modern and the rooms are clean; expect that for the price you will have some drawbacks, like small AC units struggling to cool a room and thin walls struggling to keep street noise out. The location works, but light and sound bleed through easily, especially in ground floor rooms of this renovated building. Still, it delivers on comfort and practical amenities like big TVs and up-to-date bathrooms.”
