i found the location excellent due to its proximity to the metro station. the breakfast buffet offered a lot of options. the staff gave us brownies when we checked out, nice.
i noticed the air conditioning was not working correctly in rooms. there was also a water leak that occurred in the middle of the night. this forced us to change rooms at 1 am.
