Excellent location with lots of restaurants within walking distance. The only down aide is the hotel is old and not enough outlet for computer and charges. No USB charge pods.

Great location and steps from the metro, but you pay for it. Immaculately clean but nothing else about the stay jumped out imo. Pool area was nice but was too cold when I stayed. Can’t fault the hotel for that. Staff at the pool bar/restaurant were rude/dismissive (to me at least)

Disliked: Cleanliness
I stayed at this hotel for two nights and was disappointed with the experience. When I first checked in, I found hair and even a contact lens left in the shower, which showed the bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned. On top of that, the walls are very thin — around 4am I could clearly hear the guest in the next room showering and singing. It was so loud that I couldn’t sleep well. Overall, the cleanliness and soundproofing were far below expectations, and I would not choose to stay here again.

Permitir al menos una maleta por persona en el maletero. Que nos dijeron que era 1 por habitacion y aunque se quedaron con ellas parecia un favor y no un derecho por haber pernoctado un total de 5 noches en el hotel, ademas de que eso no lo dice en ningun sitio.
