The location was convenient the building had a amazing Tiffany ceiling.

The windows lacked soundproofing so the noise from the square made sleeping difficult even with earplugs I requested a room change but staff informed me that no quieter rooms were available. The street performer outside sang loudly all day her amplifier made the noise worse. I found the noise level excessive.
