The location allowed easy exploration of the area.
My room felt quite small for the price. The bathroom door did not properly close. It was a significant inconvenience. I found that for the cost of the room. I expected more space and functionality.

mixed feelings about this stay

small roomstreet noise
The room i was assigned was quite small. there was almost no space to move around with luggage. i also found the noise levels problematic. Street noise was quite noticeable, even late at night. it made it difficult to get a good night's sleep (i even used earplugs).

The location was convenient. Subway access was easy. I discovered the rooftop area and considered it a bonus. The views were fantastic from there.
Soundproofing was not great. I could hear city noise. I heard other guests leaving their rooms early. The hotel should install door dampeners.
