Our stay at Hotel Blake was thoroughly enjoyable. We loved the friendly staff who offered great suggestions for exploring the area, and the location was perfect, placing us near public transit and popular attractions. However, the European-style open shower didn't quite meet my expectations; it felt chilly and was a bit slippery for my liking. Overall, it was a positive experience, but I'd suggest checking shower options before booking.
