Reviews
It was a bit difficult to find after getting off the subway
Breakfast was good
There were too many picture frames hanging everywhere, so it was distracting
One star for the cozy and clean room, and another for the very central location. Other than that, this is nowhere remotely near five star standard. Not recommended.
