great location nice restaurant dark room plumbing noises
The location is superb, very walkable to many attractions near the harbor. The hotel connects to a nice restaurant named Joia (I recommend it!).
My room faced the atrium, and it was quite dark. The plumbing also made odd noises. I could hear other rooms flushing, which affected my toilet.
