Upon checking in at the hotel, I requested an alternate room preferably not on the first floor where there would be a lot of traffic and noise. I was immediately told "NO", without any further interest in communication by the lady at the front desk. I left to my room as i could not cancel at that point.
Upon entering the room, i was pleasantly surprised how simple but cozy it was. Excellent for promoting comfort and relaxation with it's Scandinavian theme. Very much like the pictures. Towels were easy to obtain, simply asking the front desk. And the patio / yard was also easily accessible from the first floor where i found myself working when the weather permitted.
Overall, I'd say the room, proximity to the city, as well as the neighborhood safety were all great. The only thing was the demeanor of the staff - from the front desk to the security guards. They had very little interest in being there, their faces were very unwelcoming. Would I return no. It's not for me. But it may be for you.
