Acceptable stay, some issues to note

clean roomgood equipmenthumidity issueold towel
The breakfast was good. The room was clean and spacious. I liked that. The gym also had good equipment. I appreciate that. The staff were friendly, I am thankful.
The location was not ideal. It was not close to the metro station. Taxis were needed. There were not any convenience stores nearby. This was inconvenient. The air conditioning system did not work well. Our stuff got wet because of humidity. The towels were also quite old. They were not soft.

The breakfast choice had plenty of options. i especially liked the fresh orange juice. You don't get that everywhere. the happy hour deals in the sports bar were reasonably priced and the choices were good too.
The staff seemed very disorganized. check-in took a long time even though it was early morning. i was then given the wrong room and had to change. It took quite a while to get the correct room.
