A very nice hotel located near Chinatown. The room was beautiful and clean. Sections are under renovation, but it's not a huge deal. The staff was super helpful and recommended a nearby doctor when I got sick.

The hotel did the job during the stay. Bit disappointing that the pool was closed and that some of the gym equipment was not working. Apart from that was pretty good.

I got woken each morning at 6am by pidgeons cooing on my balcony despite the bird deterrents placed there. Would have liked a sleep in! But that’s my only complaint.
