Service was great and the room was very clean. Breakfast was delicious, and Iris, our server, was extremely attentive. The location is awesome, with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely be returning.

Good value for location but the place is in insane need of cleanliness and repair. Escalator squaled for our entire stay. Old and thick spider webs graced every window near the bar... as if an intended part of decor. The room at an alleged and uncomfortable 68-degree setting felt more like 75 and could not be controlled. If you prefer to sleep soaked in sweat, this would be fine for you. Someone else's hair graced the ceiling of the shower during our stay. The beds were terrible, uncomfortable and painful to sleep in. Horrendous sleeping situation.
