I had an amazing stay! The recwption desk stafd were very accomodating and helpful. Will definitely be recommending my family to stay here

This hotel should note in huge bold signs the following: it is located on a pedestrian street so you will NOT be able to pull up with your luggage; and it's located just above several bars so it will be VERY LOUD at night. If you are traveling with children, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere as they will not be able to sleep with the noise, and you'll have to deal with how to get your luggage and children to the hotel in the first place. We are a family of four people with two young children (aged 4) who traveled from Zurich. Getting to the hotel with our luggage and children in tow was the first challenge. Second challenge was the partying downstairs that made it impossible for our kids to sleep, even though we were on the top floor. Third challenge was that there are no sofas/seating areas, even in their biggest suite, so our kids had to sit on the floor to play or color. (There is one desk chair only). Fourth challenge was that our room was not quite clean - we found random hairs and dustballs in the bathroom and shower, and the floor was dusty, which was extra annoying since our kids had no choice but to sit on the floors to play since there are no sofas/seating. Overall, would say this is a place for adults only, no families or kids. Also, for the price they were charging (over $600/night), the lack of amenities (breakfast wasn't even included) was pretty atrocious when every other hotel in town will offer breakfast with the rate for half the price.
