mixed feelings about the stay

slow serviceempty tables
the food service was surprisingly slow. on our second night, i could not get a table. many tables had reserved signs until 9pm. i was told they were booked. (this was frustrating!) yet these tables remained empty, and i was a paying guest unable to eat. i had to get snacks elsewhere.

The location provided easy walking routes directly from the hotel! Staff members were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast had a great cleaning service too.
The hotel felt very warm! I had the air conditioning running almost all the time when I stayed there. The shower was terrible because there was no water pressure.
