"Location is excellent, price is reasonable, but the room's bathroom needed an upgrade. The "market" store in the lobby is noticeably over-priced and not all of the staff gave a warm welcome. Morning buffet is simply too expensive to enjoy, unless you expect to pay $57 for it in advance."

"The place is in the heart of the city and everything was good. EXCEPT one thing the toilets. BUT the issue is not the maids becuase they always do their work as good as they could. THE ISSUE WERE THE RESIDENTS WHO WERE VERY URISPECTFUL TO OTHERS."
