The apartment had a comfortable bed. The living area was nice and the bathroom was lovely! The staff were very kind and helpful. I liked having the bar and coffee shop available 24 hours.

The hotel is on a busy street. It was very loud late at night. I didn't sleep well because of the constant noise from outside.

street noise earplugs necessity

the location is very central and convenient however it's also right on a lively street. i found it difficult to sleep because of the noise outside at night. the provided earplugs helped a little but didn't completely solve the problem. i think the hotel should be more upfront about potential noise issues before guests book a room. soundproofing issue, street noise
