The location is wonderful and the hotel is well kept. The staff is friendly and helpful. I could not get the TV to work or the WiFi to connect. The bathroom floor flooded when I took a showed and it was very slippery when I got out of the shower.

Rooms were spacious and the bathrooms as well. There was a restaurant on premises that served breakfast, lunch and dinner. If moving around in public transportation, there were bus stops and train stations nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The decor was modern and artistic. There was even a hdmi port on the tv for you to connect your own devices which i appreciated a bunch.
