The location was CENTRAL. The helpful staff provided excellent service . I enjoyed the spacious room with wide windows offering a real city view. The complimentary coffee in the lounge was AMAZING!!!
The pool area needs some work. The furniture around the pool looked dirty. I noticed dust on the floor in my room, so it was not REALLY clean. The air conditioning temperature was unchangeable.
