Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
What I Liked was the staff's ability to compensate for my mishandled room reservation. I liked the staff and breakfast buffet very much. I liked the three dining restaurants within the hotel. I liked that the mall was connected to the hotel. I liked the convience and central location of the hotel as well. What I didn't like was that my hotel reservation from expedia for the Presidential Suite was not honored even though I reserved it four months prior to my stay. I also didn't like that every room had an issue such as door or phone not properly. I also didn't like having to keep requesting face towels for the room daily (even after the room clean).

Property is perfectly located in heart of the city, where businesses are located. Ideal for people watching yet very peaceful. There is a mall attached the to the hotel so there is a number of activities there. At night, the area is peacefully quiet, with a couple of social lounges area within walking distance.
