The Good
The majority of reviews consulted for this analysis were positive with much praise going to the hotel's rooms, staff, and location.
Many reviewers were pleased with their accommodations at this hotel. They found their rooms to be clean, well-equipped, beautifully decorated and cozy, with nice views of the park and a strong Wi-Fi signal.
The hotel's staff were a source of numerous compliments by lodgers. They were characterized as welcoming, friendly, bilingual, and helpful in answering questions about local places of interest.
Several guests praised the hotel's location. They described it as close to the park and many restaurants and within walking distance to the Metro, although a few guests felt the 15-minute walk was too long.
The Bad
While the majority of the reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were a couple of minor complaints about the lack of elevator and noise transfer.
Some guests were disappointed with the hotel's lack of elevator. These guests found that walking up three flights of stairs to their third-floor room was tiring, especially after a day of site-seeing. It was recommended that those with mobility issues book rooms on the first floor.
A couple of reviewers complained of noise disturbances during their stay; they reported hearing traffic and street noise while in rooms which faced Rachel Street. It should be noted however, that the majority of reviewers found their rooms to be quiet.
