Staff at checking was very helpful and nice. All was good, hotel is old, but nice, especially the common areas. The rooftop pool is fun to try. Breakfast was a bit off - we went down at 9am and several options finished, you needed to request for refill which is awkward. Enjoyed the stay overall (spent only 1 night).

This is an older property and the rooms are a good size. There is free overnight parking from 7pm to 8am on the streets across from the hotel, 1min walk. The hotel lighting was generally dim and the room had bright white lights.
