I had such a blast here! the hotel's location is super strategic, right across from the square. It is surrounded by so many restaurants and stores, that was great. the hotel even has its own taxi stand, super helpful. And the staff was helpful and friendly. the breakfast buffet was very good, the view even better.

The housekeeping could be better because my experience wasn't great with the cleaning lady. i asked for extra towels. tissue paper. She did not bring them, even though i gave her tips.
