no coffee makerlimited tv
The hotel wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't amazing. i found it irritating that there was no coffee maker in the room. A simple thing really enhances a stay. also, the tv selection was pretty limited, i found few english channels available, so i didn't watch much television at all..

Excellent Central Location

professional assistancecomfortable stayfood odors
The location proved ideal, placing me close to key attractions. Staff offered quick, professional assistance when needed, it was much appreciated. The air conditioning worked well, keeping the room comfortable and cool. I found the room size adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel entrance shares space with a restaurant, causing noticeable food odors near the entrance, this detracted from the initial impression.
