I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, just what you'd expect at this price range. However, they lacked sufficient electric plug-ins for laptops. The service was friendly, competent, and eager to please, although it seems it's an aspect they receive complaints about. The location was quiet and excellent, being just a block away from Chinatown and within walking distance to most attractions. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with the breakfast at Paul's restaurant being great but pricey. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, but some cleaning improvements would enhance the overall appearance of the place.
