“This property, situated in the Diamond District, has potential thanks to its proximity to cultural spots and transport links; plus, rooms include private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. While decor attempts modern appeal, some reports suggest an inconsistent experience. In my opinion, it's a mixed bag needing some attention.”
