the location was really convenient. it was easy to reach everything i wanted to see. the car parking valet service proved very helpful. the gym also offered great facilities i used.
the room felt stuffy. the windows do not open, a problem for ventilation. the ac blows directly at the bed. somehow, it does not get enough oxygen into the room. i had to keep the door ajar overnight because sleeping was difficult.
