You're really paying for the location and that's it. The room was sooooo bright because the rooms have interior windows to the indoor courtyard which is totally illuminated 24/7. It was le miz.

This place was fine for a 1 night stay. Our room was on the first floor and our window faced the street so it was very loud. We could also hear people talking, coughing, sneezing, etc in the common area. It’s definitely worth the price vs other expensive options hotels in the area. I would not want to spend more than a night or 2 here but I do recommend it. The staff was very friendly!
