“This place puts you right in the heart of the action, close to the harbor, restaurants, and shops, which is a real plus if you want to be immersed in the city's energy. While the decor might show its age a bit, the daily cleaning service and quiet rooms facing away from the street are definite perks. For a central, budget-friendly stay, it holds its own.”
