Pros +
- Nice big room with large fridge and seating
- Location
- The rooms were clean and food at the hotel was pretty good. Right downtown but doesn't feel safe at night.
Cons -
- Restaurant was ok but food not great- beggars stood in front of you and pleaded entire time you ate if you sat at table to see street and have a nice view . Staff never told them to stop or move on
- The website stated there was airport shuttle but when I called to get them to pick me up they said there wasn't FRAUD
- There is a locked gate to get in for security. The guy manning the gate disappeared and we were stuck out on the street ringing the bell for about 5min. I was just about to jump the gate when someone finally showed up. This is not safe practice at night.

The location was very good, easy walking to many places
Wasn¿t as clean as I expected, there was mold in the shower, and they had traction stickers in the tub that looked grimy and needed to be replaced, I showered wearing flip flops. There was no trash can in the room either. Restaurant service was terrible.
