the location was good, near the park and transit.
The room i booked was not what i expected. I reserved a one-bedroom but got a room without a separate bedroom. they said some floor plans are like that, it was not what i booked. dinner at the restaurant was a mistake. My wife's meal was inedible and mine was almost as bad!!!
