the location was excellent. i could easily reach many central attractions, theaters, and shops. the onsite cafe being open 24/7 was helpful. i got coffee late at night after a show. wifi worked well in the room, and i enjoyed having coffee and tea available.

the room was quite small. opening my luggage was difficult due to limited space. the air conditioning was noisy, and it made strange sounds even when turned off. it was hard to get a restful night's sleep.
