The hotel is in a nifty location, close to Opera and metro stop, Grands Boulevards. The only reason I have given the location a lower rating is because it's down an alley, for lack of a better word, with several other hotels, and, at the entrance, several times odd characters were hanging out. I didn't feel unsafe just cautious. The staff is awesome and friendly. The rooms we had, 2 adjoining, were on the top floor and were a bit shabby, but very clean. The beds could use some memory foam. We often joked that we were going to plank instead of going to bed. Overall, terrific value. Nearby are a couple of fantastic eateries like La Crema. Chartier is also a very cool experience. Around the back is a pastiserie called Hubert. Yum!
