"The location was excellent, with easy access to the subway and a park right next to the hotel. The staff were also friendly and helpful. However, as an older hotel, there were a few issues. The shower faucet didn’t turn off completely, and the bathroom was very small. After checking out, I tried to use the restroom on the first floor, but there was no running water, which made it difficult to use. Other than these issues, we were very satisfied with our stay."
