Good location, coffee shop in site is good. rooms are small and a bit crowed. The showers are in different floor so you have to take the elevators two or three floor to shower, it is not convenient at all!. Its ok to say for one day but not very comfortable more than that.

Over all was a nice place, but the restroom area is literally infront of the front desk, where everyone can hear you, the showers are dirty and public and the noise inside the building is a lot, I end up paying another hotel.
