"Perfect location. The room was fine, but the shower water was either burning hot or ice-cold. We used the valet service one night, but were charged for the entire stay. Check your invoice before you leave the hotel.2017-01-18 "
"Just across the street from the historic market. We had a lovely suite by the courtyard. Unfortunately, there was no hot water the morning we checked out, but the clerk deducted the cost of the entire night. From the bellboys to the bartender, everyone was polite and helpful. Great hotel; we'll certainly stay again.2016-01-21 "

"The hotel met our needs. Walk to restaurants and sports bars; not far from the marketplace and law school. The room was comfortable and had a nice balcony, but I didn't like that our room was at the end of a long corridor far from the lobby. We tried to go down the stairs closer to our room and ended up in the kitchen with no access to the lobby. No coffee in the lobby, but lemon water was provided. The staff was amazing. Nice complimentary breakfast. Only valet parking was available. 2016-08-26 "
