We liked the location close to the playhouse. That’s the main reason we chose the hotel The staff were very good. There’s many restaurants to choose from in the area. But The mattress was too soft and the sink didn’t drain properly. The some kind of equipment noise in the room running all night. After this minor complains we like to stay again.

Night two of our stay for my 40th birthday we were waken up at 7am by hotel workers striking.I have the footage recorded. They had large drums they were playing a a microphone. Ruined our sleep for my 40th. I called the property they said they would call me back but never did. The room was nice except for the outlets on the bed framing did not operate. The restaurant rooftop was another mess they gave us the wrong order and it took two hours.
