The room and bathroom were spacious. The shower was big, the water pressure strong, and the water temperature warm/hot. There was a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom shower tile corners—thick mildew was forming—as if it had not been cleaned in a long time.
Also, the mattress on the bed and little sofa in the room were on the soft side, lacking back support.
Otherwise, the hotel was perfect for a layover.
I didn’t have a chance to use the pool or book any spa services.
Thank you

Had an early check-in but showed up even earlier than anticipated. The front desk hostess was polite and accomodating. She stored our luggage and did her best to get us checked-in as soon as possible.

The location is great
It’s close to main areas for shopping, dinning and exploring the city
The elevator wasn’t working so it was an inconvenience we had to use the only service elevator there was a line all of the time
The hotel needs maintenance
There were holes on the walls and maybe some humidity signs on the ceiling
The people were friendly and very helpful and always making an effort to understand and communicate in English
