easy accesshelpful staffstrategic locationstreet sidesignificant noiseconstant music
the location allowed easy access to various food options, malls, and attractions. i also appreciated the helpfulness and kindness of the staff i encountered. the service provided met my needs for a brief stay.
my room faced the street, resulting in significant noise throughout the night. even with earplugs, it was difficult to sleep. the loud music seemed constant, and it definitely detracted from the experience..
