Great Hotel in Walking Distance to DPAC

We stayed 1 night to see a concert at the DPAC. The hotel was in an easy walking distance, and right across from a main square where there were boutiques, places to eat, and general local activity. We found the area to be clean, safe, and interesting to spend time before our concert. The hotel was great - clean, quiet, and great breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall the hotel was good. Great location, however the first room I was given has a strong smell of mold so I had to ask to be moved.

Great location, close to DPAC and super friendly staff. Breakfast upgrade was absolutely not worth it. That should have been free continental. Definitely don’t pay full price for it with so many good restaurants nearby. Otherwise perfect stay.

We were double charged for our stay. I was told they would remove the charge but they have not. I paid in advance prior to checking in and when my gf arrived they charged her card then tried to tell me I was only charged once. I’m sure mistakes happen but this one was uncalled for and I’m still waiting on them to remove one of the charges.
