First of all the room was in very nice condition, and the hotel is in a great location, but it's everything else that really made this a not so pleasant stay, when we got to the hotel the room was absolutely freezing cold I asked to turn the heat on and they said that the city doesn't switch the heat on until the end of the month. The restaurant was not open and there was no staff at the bar. If you want to sleep, this is not the place the staff starts cleaning the rooms at seven 8 AM and it's really loud, overall I would not recommend going here unless it was summertime and you don't mind getting up early on vacation.

The hotel is a bit dated. It has great views, but it’s a bit over 10 minutes to town on a street with narrow sidewalks and you have to cross speeding traffic twice. The hotel restaurant isn’t open; they only serve buffet breakfast. The walls are thin and we could hear our neighbor coughing all night and his alarm ringing at odd hours. We arrived at 1:30, but the staff told us to return after 2:00 for check in. I’ve never had a hotel not check for an available room. The AC ran all night and could only manage to cool the room from 25.5 to 24. I had it set to 20. They tried to reset it once, but it didn’t work any better.
