“A location near the city center and a restaurant that some might enjoy are its primary selling points. While modern design is mentioned, upkeep seems inconsistent. The air conditioning, though present, barely compensates for the discomfort in some rooms. For some, one helpful staff member might not compensate for the experience.”
