Wonderful Visit!

great locationconvenient accessunresolved issue
The location was superb. It was convenient to central square, shopping, sites. subway access was quite close. I enjoyed the proximity!
The hotel charged resort fees for a four-night stay, even though I only booked three nights. I contacted them, but the issue was not resolved, disappointing.

spacious roomgreat locationice machine
the room was really spacious (i reminded me of a queen in my own castle!). the air conditioning worked perfectly, such a relief after a long day. it was a very welcome escape from the city heat. the location was also great as it was close to many attractions.
sometimes, i waited for several minutes, frustrating, especially when i was in a hurry. also, the ice machine on my floor wasn't working. It was a small inconvenience, but i would have appreciated having it.
