Great stay overall! The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was decent—nothing fancy, but it got the job done. The location is a huge plus, right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to the market, Chinatown, and tons of great restaurants and cafes and shops. Perfect spot if you want to be close to everything!
