This hotel location rocks! The rooftop bar has an amazing view. Breakfast includes many choices! Our room was super clean each afternoon when we returned from our daily excursions. The cleaning staff ensured a comfortable stay, and I sure appreciated their amazing work!

The room doors make a loud noise when other guests closed them at night. I found it a slight disturbance.

The location was excellent. It made it easy to walk to main attractions.

My room was quite noisy as it was on the first floor. I also tripped on a step just inside the door. It was dangerous since I couldn't turn on the lights before encountering it. The doors were heavy. I was woken up each time a neighbor entered or left their room.
