The staff is so nice. The room was a nice size. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small, but not bad. My husband said he saw a hair on the sheets, but it was probably the maid's. Air conditioning unit made a strange whirring sound every few minutes, but not a huge deal.

Clean, comfortable room and welcoming reception staff. Good breakfast. The only downside was the street noise all night long. Earplugs are beneficial for a good night's sleep.

AC was comfortable. Room was nice but there was a lot of street noise. The streets around the hotel became desolate at night and unsavory characters tend to walk around the area.
The staff was generally friendly.
