the location proved ideal , as it was near to several key points of interest. the central park walk was a pleasant fifteen minutes. the staff were attentive and readily available. i found the room spacious , particularly beneficial .
the air conditioning could have performed slightly better , it did adequately cool the room , but on warmer days , a stronger output would have been preferable. this was a minor issue and did not significantly affect my overall experience.
