the front desk staff is so pleasant and accomodating and the check in process was so quick. the location is so convenient to where were going. we only stayed for 1 night, when turning the shower on, it makes a weird sound and the aircon is so out dated. we went to all the floors where it says the ice vending machines are located but all is broken, what a waste of time and there’s only 2 tiny elevators for a 15-storey hotel. will not recommend.

Staff don’t help , no do not disturb signs and shower didn’t have a cover overall trash hotel . Staff was mean and didn’t bother helping customers and they charge a holding fee of 125 dollars and 35 dollars to stay there on top of your original payment . So trash highly recommend staying somewhere else .

Adequate
Well, most of the reviews are spot on. Only 2 elevators and not very many amenities in general. The room was clean but in rough shape, paint on the wall and moulding was chipped. The beds were very comfortable, the TVs worked and the shower had nice water pressure, and the location was great. We really only booked because they had a unique room, one double bed and then 2 bunk beds so the kids didn't have to share a bed and this made them very happy. We weren't in the room much since we were out seeing the sights. All in all it was adequate, but I'm not sure I would stay there again. A little TLC and it could be a pretty nice hotel.
