The hotel's location was unbeatable. I walked to major attractions quickly. Breakfast on the rooftop was good. It offered a rich buffet. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they were always ready to assist with any questions.

The room I initially received was smaller than expected, and it felt quite cramped. The bathroom had a slight unpleasant smell. The bed was too short, and my feet dangled off the end.
