Look Elsewhere
Internet service is not free as advertised and the wireless connection we paid for was between "weak" and "unavailable" in our room. The continental breakfast was skimpy and disappointing (we ate elsewhere). The carpets are stained and dirty. The lobby furniture is dirty and worn. The front desk staff is usually limited to one employee per shift and were often unpleasant and unhelpful. The bathroom fixtures in our room were rusty and the shower handle had come loose. The 2004 renovation was clearly done cheaply as the place shows significant wear and tear. The roof-top pool is small and only 4 feet deep at the deepest. The rooms are overpriced and the hotel is unquestionably overrated - I would rate it at a generous 1.5 stars. The only things this place has going for it is location and large beds. The shower is open to the room, offering no privacy whatever. The room furniture is small and portable. Noises from adjacent hotel rooms and the adjoining street/alleyways are prevalent. Do not expect much if you choose to stay here. I recommend you look elsewhere.
