spacious furnishings

shared entryway

The room was spacious, with comfortable furnishings and an excellent shower with excellent water pressure that enhanced our stay. The location ensured we had a quiet night despite being near the action of restaurants and shops. Access to public transportation was convenient.

The shared entryway with a liquor store felt a bit awkward at times.
