Everything was fine, and it was a good value my only suggestion that they improve the signage for where elevators are located on the floor. It wasn’t abundantly clear where to find the elevators, but I eventually figured out that if I walked towards the sign that says stairs, an elevator would be nearby.

The only good thing was the shopping. Hotel was not worth the money. Halls smelled like a cannabis dispensary, toilet rarely flushed, food in the restaurant...well let's just say the salad was the best part. Excellent staff though.

Location is convinient

Our room was noisy. With the windows closed and the air conditioning running loudly, the noise of traffic and car horns vibrated in the room. I think we managed to sleep for two hours.
