I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, the rooms were very clean and comfortable, and all the staff were friendly, helpful, and outstanding to deal with. The customer service was great, but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of a bathtub or a lounge in the room and the poor balcony. However, the rooms were spacious and had balconies, which was a plus.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-priced, but they felt very stuffy and smelly at times. The courtyard room setup was convenient for accessing the building and our room. The service was adequate but didn't exceed expectations. The location was great for us, with convenient access to amenities, although the lack of late-night bar service was a downside. The dining experience was enjoyable, with great mornings at the Blue Door downstairs. Some vegan dishes were available. Overall, it was a decent stay with both positives and negatives.
