The location of this hotel is central and convenient.
I found several issues . The room assigned to me was quite small. I expected more space, especially considering what I paid. I also experienced difficulties reaching room service, calls went unanswered for an extended period.

The staff were friendly and helpful with directions.
The safe in my Executive Room King Bed didn't work. It seemed like it had been repaired before, but it still wouldn't function when I tried to use it. I had to call reception again. (I did get a free breakfast as compensation, at least).
