The hotel's location proved very convenient. I could easily reach many major tourist spots by walking. The staff were also quite helpful in arranging airport transportation for me. The room was cleaned thoroughly each day.

The hotel was somewhat dated. I noticed the air conditioning unit needed cleaning. Its panel indicated a filter change was necessary.

The location is really good.

The bathroom smelled awful with sewer smells coming from the shower. The shower was narrow and I couldn't move without opening the shower door. The air conditioning didn't work properly, and I couldn't fix the temperature.
