a wonderful stay in the heart of the city

excellent staircase beautiful hall on-location filming

the hotel boasts an excellent staircase. the building's main hall is quite beautiful. i enjoyed viewing films that were filmed on location here, such as john wick. i will certainly be back for another stay.

during my visit, the room felt a little outdated. the furniture looked worn. i also noticed a spider inside the room, which raised hygiene concerns.
