Very cute but wouldn’t stay again sadly
The hotel is very cute but severely outdated. No elevator so hauling luggage up the stairs at our age was difficult. The room are ok but not meant for tall people. The reason for the low review is that the beds are atrocious. Very uncomfortable to say the least. The location is fantastic for night life but be prepared to be woke up early from garbage trucks.
