Exceptional Service and Prime Location
The hotel’s location is excellent, within walking distance of many great attractions. The service was outstanding, particularly the front desk staff member who speaks fluent English and was extremely helpful. During my trip, I stayed at three different hotels, and this hotel’s staff stood out as the best.

Will not stay here again
The power outlets in the room didn't work with my computer, cell phone charger, and the hair styler. The thermometer in the room didn't work. Very frustrating. The worst was Internet was not working for my computer, but that turns out the problem was my computer. I did not like the buffet breakfast. The hotel staff are nice and friendly, they tried their best to help.

The room air conditioning really affected my stay. The heat wouldn’t go below 23.5°C so I was constantly waking up in a sweat as the air con unit kicked in and stopped all night long. I opened the window to let air in but as I was on the 2nd floor a lot of loud street noise came in. I wouldn’t stay here again slowly for this reason as I didn’t have one good nights sleep during my 5 night stay.

This is the place you want to stay. Spotlessly clean from the rooftop garden down to the laundry room in the basement. The only negative is that many large bus groups are coming and going many times, so the desk and lobby area gets very congested.,

This property is located to many shopping and dining options. The breakfast at this hotel is pretty hearty. The room that we stayed in was comfortable, however there was an issue in the bathroom in terms of the toilet being on a slope and the sink not draining fast. The air was also on central air and to accommodate the guest who were cold we were unable to adjust the temperature of our thermostat. Despite this I'd recommend to stay here at this hotel again because of it's super helpful staff like Robert. Not only did Robert help us with our bags but he also hailed taxis for us when we were leaving for the day and he would also meet us out front when we were returning.
