7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. On the positive side, the service was excellent with very friendly and accommodating staff. However, the room felt more like a studio apartment than a traditional hotel room, and the immediate surroundings were not the most appealing with ongoing construction and closed-down businesses nearby.

Rooms

7.0

Even though the room was fairly clean, it resembled more of a studio apartment than a typical hotel room. I wished for better ventilation and windows that could open up to let in fresh air.

Service

9.0

The service at the hotel was exceptional. The staff members were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable during their stay.

Location

The hotel's location was convenient for getting around the city, being just 5 blocks from the capital and in the East Village area, a short walk to downtown and the court avenue business district. There were also plenty of dining and shopping options within walking distance.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room was adequate, but the lack of a fan made it challenging to sleep, despite the well-equipped kitchen area. The service was excellent, with helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient, close to various amenities and attractions. The dining options fell a bit short of expectations, but the facilities were well-maintained.
