The hotel is pretty nice and, though it may be noisy on the street, the sound proofing worked wonders. It is important to make an appointment for check-in/payment by cc. Although there is a person at the small front desk to check you in and help with any needs, a higher up must be called in to run any credit card payment. The only issue we gad was that they were unable to find our reservation at first. Once they found it, they only had one room instead of 2.
