the location was very central. many restaurants are nearby. sightseeing attractions and shopping areas were within walking distance. the room was super spacious and clean. i would stay again because of the location.
The reception gave me a room not on a higher level. it did not have a good view. I saw a warehouse. there was a knocking sound around 11 pm to 2 am. i checked and there was nobody there, and it happened almost every night.
