I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were tidy and easy to adjust the temperature, but it would have been better with air conditioning. The staff did offer to arrange one for me if needed. The views varied from a quiet internal atrium to a suite overlooking a busy street, affecting the ambiance.
