Think twice before you stay there.

Wanted almost 30 minutes to check in with only one person ahead of me. Manager plus another employee stocking snack store without caring that there were 4 people in line. Hotel was old but clean. Advertises a bar buts it’s in another hotel. They put us in a room next to an outdoor concert going on and heard loud music all night. I asked the same rude front desk person about a certain street and see just saying go left, I asked her north, south east or west and she said, I don’t know just go left. She was mad I was taking her time and rude.

The staff was great, rooms clean, good breakfast, nice location. EXCEPT, there's an outdoor music venue next door that is SUPER LOUD until 2AM. The hotel even leaves ear plugs in the rooms. We won't be back for that reason alone

we arrived at 11 pm, Imposible to park on the street to check in. Hotel Garage was very narrow, some vehicles were parked in 2 spaces. The room was nice , diferrent from the one I had reserved. I had reserved 2 queen side beds, the room was one king side bed and a sofa bed. we asked for extra pillows and blanquet for the sofa and they didnt' have. There are a couple of bars around the Hotel, it was very laud one of the nights even though the hotel provides with a noise machine and ear plugs. Positive side the hotel is very clean, and with the exception of a couple of front desk representatives the rest of the staff was very polite.
