8/10 Good
"Nice hotel, great location, walkable to everything. The only issue we had was the shower. It is so tiny and the door doesn’t ensure that you don’t get water everywhere. I understand the efficiency of the size for the space, vut they definitely need a better door system. Everything else was wonderful! Loves the bar on the roof!"
