6/10 Good

Pros: great location, very clean and good maid service, beds were comfortable, nice bedding. Cons: Very noisy, No soundproofing. Could hear everything outside the rooms. Small rooms with limited furniture, i.e. no bedside table in one room and no luggage rack in another. Rooftop restaurant closed too early.
