I was there for the new years celebrations downtown. The hotel was very clean and organized. The security was also very attentive. They were checking people at the door and making sure that only registered guest came in which made me feel at ease, and at night the noice control was super quiet. For that festive occasion it was very controlled.

Disliked: Amenities
Location was excellent. Room was dated and had a large collumn in the middle that made it difficult to get in and out of bed. Bed was very small and very uncomfortable. Definately needs a renovation then it would be fine.
