the location is central and allowed me to easily reach many destinations. i found the staff to be customer service oriented and attentive. the building has a beautiful staircase adding a touch of elegance.
the lift shaft behind my room was noisy throughout the night. this noise affected my sleep. the electrical trip switch was hanging off the wall and switches were exposed.
