The location of this hotel is excellent - and that is its best asset. The aesthetics/ decor of the rooms are nice too. Unfortunately, our experience beyond that was very bad. Our room wreaked of cigarette smoke despite being a non-smoking room (I never knew how much the smell of cigarettes would keep me awake). The bed pillow felt like sleeping on a large rock. And the noise from the pedestrians below was incredibly loud well into the night (and the room had decent windows, from what we could tell). One of us slept so-so, and the other one was never able to fall asleep due the noise, hard pillow, and outrageous stench of cigarettes. Never again!
