I found the location quite convenient, within walking distance of major attractions. The breakfast offered a good variety of options. Staff members were ALWAYS polite and ready to assist with any queries. I was provided with complimentary bottled water on a daily basis.
The air conditioning unit seemed to need maintenance. It was a little loud. This made it difficult to adjust the temperature precisely.
