i found the location really handy near bars and restaurants! it was flat enough for walking. the staff seemed friendly and cute, and that enhanced my experience. breakfast choices included fresh fruits, cereals, nuts, smoked salmon and an omelette chef.
the room cleaning was very poor, i noticed. bath towels had terrible quality, and even holes. it is unacceptable in a 5-star hotel, though. i was hoping for better quality .
