I loved how close the hotel was to all the main attractions. It made exploring so easy! the building had such fascinating architecture, i wish i had more time to explore it fully. i especially enjoyed having parking available, that felt mad really like a real luxury here. the hotel also had a lovely pool area, though i didn't get a chance to use it.
The air conditioning in my room wasn't working properly. I had to open a window which resulted in some bugs getting in.
