6/10 Good

The bed sheets were turned inside out, there was no blanket, no TV except for paid channels that you had to use your login to watch. The shower was wet when I got into the room. Horrible experience and I won't be going back.
Porto bedsheet inside out.

Nice location but not so nice room
The location was amazing but the room was not clean. The location was very walkable to nice restaurants, shops and nightlife. The room was similar to a motel 6 inside. The bathroom was filthy and the shower clogged up every time a shower was taken.

Don’t stay here!!!
Hotel falling apart. We were told you had to request room cleaning and clean towel service. Requested everyday for 5 day stay and didn't happen until we put all the dirty towels and bag of garbage on checkin desk. Only 1 of 3 ice machines worked in hotel. Fridge in room broken. $45 per day to park don’t know unless search hotel.com site, not easy to find.

Smell
I booked this place as it looked nice in the photos but they were misleading. This place felt more like a motel than a hotel. One thing that stood out was each room was smelly and musky. We changed three rooms and decided to cancel our reservation and found another hotel.
