“This older-style hotel appears recently revitalized with hospitable new management; from what I gather, guests can expect clean accommodations and a surprisingly quiet environment, despite street noise. While air conditioning is absent, the professional staff seems dedicated to ensuring a comfortable stay and can accommodate requests like luggage storage, which strikes me as a noteworthy advantage. It could be a solid choice for budget-minded travelers.”
