Excellent location and super clean rooms

metro station shuttle bus excellent service

This hotel features a direct connection to the metro station. I found shopping and dining very accessible. The housekeeping services kept our room super clean at all times. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus service to the train station. This service included a welcome lounge.

I found the fitness center access to come with an extra charge. I think this is not typical. I would expect complimentary access at a hotel of this level.

bad internet cheap ship bathroom

I did noticed the bathroom was like a container inside a cheap ship. It wasn't what I expected from such a place. the internet was really bad. It barely worked for a whole week. When I asked for help, they suggested I buy something at the cafe downstairs to use their Wi-Fi. They even kicked me out of the top floor after breakfast, quite inconvenient.
