Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located in the heart of Georgetown, making it easy to access various places of interest. The rooms have some added value services, but the view from the window opening to an air duct well is disappointing. The service was good overall, but there was a slight oversight in helping with mailing stamped postcards. The dining options were limited, with some items not meeting expectations, but the coffee was good. The facilities are decent, although the air freshener in the rooms did not help much.
