Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everyone who worked there was so nice. The room was the perfect size and very clean. It's in a perfect location for transit and Korean food. The only downfalls were that the bed was very squeaky and bent in the center, and the windows let in a lot of surrounding noise.
Gabriela, 1-night trip

Great stay, will come back
YUFENG, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were surprised by the quality of service and of the room for the price we paid. The room was spacious, old fashioned in the look but well decorated and comfortable. The lobby is very welcoming with a restaurant and a bar well decorated. Almost a European look. We will gladly return because the staff was also super friendly and did their best to please us, a memorable experience. Also the location is perfect and very safe. Bravo, great stay!
