the staff were attentive, i guess.
the room i had was shockingly small for the price i paid, a cramped classic double room. the tv remote didn't work, and no one seemed to know how to fix it. also, the minibar was sparsely stocked, so i had to go out to find snacks late at night. It was like a basic motel, not a fancy place.

the location was good, near many attractions.
The room i booked was not up to par. The air conditioning made a loud gurgling noise all night, even when it was off.. the pillows were so soft they offered no support at all. the shower sprayed water all over the floor if you turned it on too high.
