Location near tram lines was a significant plus. The staff helped secure my luggage after checkout, a great convenience. Blockout curtains in the room ensured restful nights, something I really need. Easy access to transportation made getting around the city so easy.
I noticed the hotel needs a deep clean, especially in hallways. Built-up dust and marks on walls were pretty visible and affected the overall vibe. I hope management addresses the cleaning issues in the future.
