Really nice property to stay at in terms of location, amenities and dining options. We found 2 issues during our stay: 1. Dirty towels: Everyday we got atleast 1 dirty towel out of the towels provided. The towel seemed washed and cleaned but it had brown dirty patches on them consecutively for 2 days. 2. Old mattresses: The mattress was pretty saagy to sleep on. You might end up getting a back ache after a couple of nights.

The hotel was about a 25 minute walk from downtown. There are restaurants next-door if you don’t need to go downtown. They have a great happy hour at breakfast which we thoroughly enjoyed.

The staff and services (such as gluten-free breakfast options) pushed what would otherwise have been a four-star rating. The air-conditioners work well, but are extremely noisy and the cavity sliding doors are solid wood (which is great to reduce noise, but the tracks are worn, making opening and closing a real struggle and not quiet).
