Online the hotel looked very modern and clean. We chose this location because of that, and the location being walkable to many places on our list to see. It hit most of the needs for us but the description lacks some important notes.
1. The hotel is very geared towards students. They are everywhere which is fine, but they congregate in most spaces and tend to have not taken care of the property. 2. There is a lot of wear on the property. In the rooms, there is a smell of sweat or feet. The bathrooms had mold in the corners, and there was no shower door in our room. The panel of glass does not extend to be able to keep the floor from getting completely wet when showering. The beds were ROCK hard. We came with family and had 4 rooms, they were all the same way.
3.The staff was friendly and helpful, and there were several food and drink options available. The cafe in the front was decent for breakfast, or smoothies as well. If you have an early tour though, the timing is right to get something before the start, as they open at 8.
4.The rooftop bar gives wonderful views but be aware that this is not a full bar, and their drink options are mostly limited to the trendy drinks on their menu. As Americans we tend to like sweeter drinks, and this was very limited, as they do not carry any type of juice. But the bartenders were helpful in trying to accommodate us so we adapted.
The price of the hotel along with location was definitely a positive.
