Its location above a nightclub, however, can cause noise late into the night, especially on weekends.

Reviews
Very central hotel, decent room and bathroom. No information from the hotel before the stay regarding the door code.
Rooms too small.
However, the bathroom was cramped and the showerhead was dirty. I wasn't able to get the heater going inside the room either so it was pretty cold during the night and the next morning. They should do a better job maintaining the grounds. The area near the back entrance had litter all over the floor, also when I looked on the patio on the second floor there was an ashtray with over a hundred cigarette butts inside. I probably wouldn't come back here.
