Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

great locationnoisy roomterrible service
The location was great with plenty to explore nearby and close to major shopping areas
The room was quite noisy I could hear every sound from the next room at 5 a.m. Trying to get a drink at the rooftop and downstairs bar was difficult. The service was terrible there.
