I had an exciting stay at Legacy Ottoman Hotel, especially because of its central location near major attractions. However, the hotel fell short on the service front, particularly in the dining area where accommodating dietary preferences proved challenging. Overall, the charm of the historic building and the friendly concierge staff were highlights, but they need to sharpen their dining staff's customer service skills.

My room was a bit on the small side, with limited power outlets and basic amenities. It could definitely use some updating and better sound insulation from street noise.
