My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. On the positive side, the service was excellent with very friendly and accommodating staff. However, the room felt more like a studio apartment than a traditional hotel room, and the immediate surroundings were not the most appealing with ongoing construction and closed-down businesses nearby.

Even though the room was fairly clean, it resembled more of a studio apartment than a typical hotel room. I wished for better ventilation and windows that could open up to let in fresh air.

The hotel's location was convenient for getting around the city, being just 5 blocks from the capital and in the East Village area, a short walk to downtown and the court avenue business district. There were also plenty of dining and shopping options within walking distance.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room was adequate, but the lack of a fan made it challenging to sleep, despite the well-equipped kitchen area. The service was excellent, with helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient, close to various amenities and attractions. The dining options fell a bit short of expectations, but the facilities were well-maintained.

The room, while adequate, could have been more comfortable with the option of leaving a fan on. The kitchen area was a standout feature, well-equipped with everything I needed.
