Very hot and loud in the evening. No AC. Lots of loud traffic noise and bar crowds out until after 3am. Loved the area and great breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Room layout was poor, meaning two people with a case each will not enjoy the room at all... more like playing tetris from the inside. Had to climb over the bed to get to the other side due to duct at floor level on the far side of the bed. Hopefully other rooms in hotel are not as bad as 313.
