the location was good. the rooms had modern furnishings, which i appreciated. i also liked the very comfortable bed and excellent blackout curtains.

the room was not soundproof. i could hear footsteps from above, people outside the door, and the busy street nearby. the air conditioning in the room did not work well at all. it only looked good, but it wasn't enjoyable.
