The hotel has a prime location in the city center, making it ideal for exploring on foot. The rooms, although initially not ready due to maintenance, turned out to be spacious and comfortable. The service was outstanding, with the staff being welcoming and kind. The dining experience was a bit hit-and-miss, with good quality food but inconsistent service. Overall, a convenient choice with great staff and spacious accommodations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the rooms were always fresh and comfortable, but I was disappointed to find that the second bed was just a fold-out bed. The service was top-notch with super friendly and responsive staff, but the dining options left a lot to be desired. The prime location made it easy to explore the vibrant surrounding area, yet the dining experience fell short of expectations.

The hotel was a bit of a disappointment. The room I checked into was not what I expected, and the noise from the street made it hard to relax. However, the staff tried to help and address the issues we had. The location was decent but not exceptional, and the dining experience left much to be desired. The facilities were lacking compared to what I had hoped for.

My stay at the hotel was mostly pleasant. The rooms were tidy, clean, spacious, and comfortable, perfect for our needs. However, the lack of a shower curtain in a $370/night room was not acceptable. Also, the room wasn't made up after the first day of our 3-day visit.

The service at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the staff were super friendly and accommodated our needs, they fell short when it came to attentiveness and promptness, especially when our food was delayed during one of the meals. This affected our overall experience.

The location of the hotel was a mixed bag. It was great for exploring Cuba Street and the waterfront, being within walking distance of many attractions. However, it was far enough away to escape the noise. Additionally, being close to bus stops and various dining options made it convenient.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well decorated and comfortable but not soundproof, which made it unpleasant to hear the neighboring room. Unfortunately, there was no Aircon. On the bright side, the minibar stuff was very friendly, and the location was convenient for exploring the area. However, the service needs improvement, especially attention to detail. The dining experience was disappointing, and the buffet was not replenished adequately. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were good, and the staff was accommodating.
