great locationhelpful stafffilthy carpetfaulty air conditioning
The location is GREAT. It is in the heart of the shopping district. The staff at the front desk were helpful.
The carpet in the room was filthy. The air conditioning did not work properly. I had to open the window, but it made the room quite NOISY.

mediocre stay, location is fine but issues exist
convenient barincorrect addresssmall room
the bar on the hotel was quite convenient. i did not need to wander far for a drink, and that was a plus.
The address shown online was not correct. i had to wander around to find the place. I found out later that i shouldn't use the hotel's address in the gps. the room was also quite small. It barely fit the bed, and it felt rather claustrophobic. i really think they need to improve the accuracy of their listed address and offer larger rooms. because the room was too small, i asked for another one. The staff did not care.
