the location proved ideal.. it was easy to stroll to key attractions and vibrant plazas. i found the staff cute and helpful, ready to assist with directions. the proximity to public transport made exploring effortless.

the room lacked soundproofing, causing disturbances from street noise. this impacted my sleep quality, as i could hear traffic and conversations throughout the night.

The location was very convenient. I found it easy to walk to many attractions. Staff were helpful and swiftly managed my late luggage storage after I checked out (very convenient for my late flight). The reception area provided prompt service at check-in, and the front desk person was kind.

The room was a little warm, and I couldn't seem to adjust the temperature to my liking.
