10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful upgraded room with wrap around balcony. Staff was amazing, although they seemed to be short staffed much of the time. No fault of the staff, as they often seemed to be doing double or triple duty. But occasionally things were a bit slow. I would definitely stay here again. The location is fantastic and very walkable.
