When we arrived late at night, we learned that the 2-bedroom suite we had booked was unavailable, but the hotel provided us two standard rooms near each other instead. The rooms were on the third floor and there was no elevator for that part of the building. The rooms themselves were clean, and the kitchens were useful. One bedroom had a rock-hard bed, but full size bathroom, while the other room had a softer bed in a slightly larger bedroom, with a tiny bathroom and a shower under a sloped ceiling that made it difficult to shower. However, the location was very convenient, the buffet breakfast was great with lots of local options as well as some American standards, and the staff were all friendly.
