Hotel is well situated and has a good breakfast. The Air conditioner was very noisy, switched rooms and the noise dropped by 10dB but still noisy enough that couldn’t sleep without noise cancelling EarPods. The carpets are dirty/stained in the hallways and stains in the rooms too. Positive is the location.
