I have stayed at this property many times. One of the main reasons is the food. They have a great French restaurant (Le Beaujolais), which can also be ordered in their first floor bar. Overall a good hotel for the price. The location is good for access to shopping and the WTC Mall.

Room was clean but very old everything. Carpet on the floor. I saw a roach crawling through my bathroom. Can't blame the crew as there are vents inside bathroom and it connects to anything out there. My room was supposed to be smoking-free but someone must have been smoking in the room next to mine, and that was coming inside. No privacy, one can hear conversations in room nearby. Pool was unavailable due to maintenance just on the days i was there. Staff is nice, tries to be helpful. I didn't try breakfast because i found nice alternatives in the mall nearby. Shower: somehow there was no hot water on my last night, just when i needed it most. It was just mildly warm, enough for super quick shower.

The basic room was small but ok for 2 people. It was clean, the bathroom was dated but otherwise ok as well. There can be noise at times from neighbouring rooms when the people were loud but it was not bad. Bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper. The bed was a bit hard and the aircon and fan worked but not really the thermostat. It was just a matter of turning on and off the aircon if you needed it. The included breakfast its good value. Its a plentiful buffet catering for the breakfast tastes of many nationalities. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel needs serious attention. The location is convenient with late night dining options and local shopping but the room we were in had a tv that made a humming noise when it was on, the shower stopper was broken so we had to remove it, the AC did not work well and made a loud clicking noise, and there was a big dead bug that the cleaning crew missed several times during our 4 night stay. The room itself smelled like it needed air although we requested non smoking. We asked to be moved but there were no other rooms available so we suffered through it. The friendliness of the staff and the dining and nightlife options were the only redeeming factor. The staff even helped with wrapping our head scarves when we were leaving to tour the mosque.
