Booked here last minute, stay was just okay. Location is great walking distance to great restaurants and shops, but there’s a lot of noise from other guests, airplanes, and the air conditioning. The beds were extremely hard as were the pillows. The room itself was pretty spacious, didn’t feel cramped, appropriately appointed.
