The only good thing was the shopping. Hotel was not worth the money. Halls smelled like a cannabis dispensary, toilet rarely flushed, food in the restaurant...well let's just say the salad was the best part. Excellent staff though.

Our room was noisy. With the windows closed and the air conditioning running loudly, the noise of traffic and car horns vibrated in the room. I think we managed to sleep for two hours.

Good location and many restaurants nearby. Not too quiet, hear street noise. It seems old, but the condition is very good. The bathroom is a little small, and no refrigerator in the room.
