Average stay, some disappointments

acceptable locationsmall roomsmoke smell

The location was acceptable since it was near public transportation.

The room felt quite small and looked somewhat outdated. I also noted a distinct smell of smoke, not pleasant. None of us smoke. The overall experience with the room did not meet the expectations I had for a four-star hotel. I am not satisfied.

The staff was helpful at all times. Breakfast included eggs made to order, and coffee was served directly to my table. Its convenient location allowed easy walking to main attractions.. also, the u1 or u4 lines are across the street. I would certainly stay again.

The room itself was a bit small for my liking.
