Amazing place. Clean, Central. Well Located. Great staff. Very great staff. Top notch service. Spacious rooms. Great in-room facilities and amenities. And not expensive either. Good Value for money. 2 areas for improvement - Cable TV has voice lag. the voice is not in sync with video display. Second the Cafe downstairs is a rip off. Besides free breakfast, I wouldn't order anything from there. Overpriced, small quantities and delivery in paper bags? not in plates?
