I had a great stay at Nu Hotel, which absolutely shines in terms of service and location. I loved the well-furnished room with ample amenities, although I did hear some noise from the street at times. The breakfast options were nice, although I think they could improve the bagels. Overall, I had a solid experience and would definitely return.

I took advantage of the dry cleaning service and appreciated the availability of pet amenities, which added to the boutique feel of the hotel. However, I expected more in terms of daily room cleaning and replenishment of basic items like lotion.
