The staff were helpful. I was offered a free upgrade to a newly renovated room on arrival. The location is in the middle of the city. It is very convenient. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

The double bed room description included a window on the picture. My room had a fake, locked window. The air conditioner was noisy. I barely slept all night. It reminded me of i was sleeping on top of the machine.
