In summary, this was a good hotel to spend a few nights and I'd recommend it as long as it's not over a hot summer.
Pros: location! I felt safe walking around at night, the metro is just a few steps away, lots of good restaurants (try Joe's sandwiches and crepes), and there was no noise from the outside coming in. Staff were nice and helpful. The room was not huge but big enough for 2 people and our carry-on luggage.
Cons: having air conditioning was better than nothing but the a/c is more like a fan. It never got cool enough and in fact, after being in the room for a bit, it'd get warm. At times it was so warm that I'd wake up (again, still better than no a/c but not the best).
