helpful staffexcellent locationcity viewshort walk

The staff was helpful and cute, it. the location is excellent, right in the heart of everything. i was upgraded to a city view room and it was a fantastic surprise. the aerobus from the airport stopped just a short walk away. That was so convenient.

It wasn't too bad, though.
