The complimentary shuttle service to the city center is a thoughtful touch, especially given the area's challenging traffic.

adequate stay with noticeable issues

ineffective air conditioning inadequate soundproofing

the location offered convenient access to nearby attractions (i liked that).

The room i had was smaller than expected. the air conditioning was not effective and made it difficult to sleep comfortably. the noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway was disruptive. Soundproofing seems inadequate.

Acceptable Experience

wide breakfast helpful staff small gym street noise

I liked the breakfast. It included many options, so I ate a full meal each morning. The staff also helped me with my questions about local attractions.

The gym was smaller than I thought. It lacked a few machines. My room also faced the street, it had some noise at night. I struggled to sleep some nights.
