Great location, clean and comfortable rooms. Exceeded mt expectations. In two stays I had one room where I couldn't hear any noise at all from the club, and one where I had loud noise until about 230am. So just check location of room if you want quiet.

The hotel itself was fine. What wasn't fine was that I could not get ANY wifi in my room, the shower in the bathroom was very slippery an there was no rubber bathmat to make the surface safe and no grab bars at all. But the real problem was the outside seating area adjoining the hotel. By day it was a pleasant place to sit and order a burger or whatever. By evening however it transformed into a crazy busy nightclub with super LOUD music and a jam packed area filled with boozing young people who partied until 1 pm all three nights we stayed there. The music was so loud we couldn't get to sleep. This was mentioned nowhere on the website. If you are over 25 years old? STAY AWAY

We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. They describe themselves as a cross between a boutique hotel and a hostel and that is about right. Our room was clean and very comfortable
