Nightlife Options

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that the hotel is more functional than fancy—don't expect luxury finishes. The breakfast is light and may not satisfy if you're looking for a full meal. Sound insulation could be better in some rooms, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs just in case.
