The location was central (very close to everything). The staff was friendly and efficient, especially at check-in. The room was clean, and the air conditioning worked well. The bathroom included many amenities (such as soap, shampoo, and lotion).

The street outside was noisy at times.

The hotel offered a great location. It was close to many attractions. The staff proved friendly. The breakfast area was also nice.

The air conditioning was not adjustable. I found it difficult to get comfortable. I also noticed the room window faced inward. It looked into other parts of the hotel, so privacy was LIMITED.
