Le point intéressant de cet hôtel est le service hors-pair de la part du personnel, surtout à la réception. L'autre point positif est la situation de l'hôtel... près de tout.

Liked: Staff & service
The entrance of the hotel lobby was beautiful and clean, but the 11th floor that I stayed on had a smell when you come off the elevator; like rotten bananas. The beds were soft but when I laid down at night, it was like the bed spreads were infested with bed bugs. The sheets had a few stains on it and I noticed some bites on my legs the next day. I will not be back.
