Mixed Experience, Staff Excellent, Room Disappointing

room view cramped room

The staff proved helpful with directions.

The room I booked did NOT match the pictures. The view faced another building directly. It lacked space and felt cramped. It WAS quite a letdown.

Fantastic Stay with Really good Service!

helpful guys accessible location wide variety seamless service

The reception guys were helpful and cute, suggesting great nearby places to visit. I found the location very accessible. It was only a short walk to major attractions. Breakfast was included, a huge plus and offered a wide variety of delicious options. The hotel arranged seamless airport shuttle service for me.

The view from my room was just of another building, which wasn't the most inspiring.
