The location was AMAZING. It was so close to all the shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful
The underground parking was VERY tight, and there was no elevator access from the lower basement level. I thought the double beds would be larger, but they were tiny. The air-conditioning was VERY noisy.
