    The hotel location is very convenient. Not far from metro. There are lots of places to eat up. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was spaces enough for two people. We had a room on the 17th floor with a nice view. Beds were comfortable and big enough. The room was cleaned every day. The bathroom needed a bit of freshing up but clean and spacious.
