Good location, some drawbacks

convenient location relaxed atmosphere lovely foyer expensive parking undisclosed fee additional taxes
The location was very convenient. The Grove shopping mall was just across the street. I could easily walk to various restaurants and supermarkets. The hotel had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I liked having coffee in the foyer each morning.
Various taxes were added to my bill, including tourism, parking, and amenity taxes.
