I had a great time on this property. The staff were nice and it's walking distance from most relevant places: the mall, galleries, restaurants, market and more. The room i stayed in was also great it had everything I'd need to live there permanently even though i only spent a week. Great place!

Front desk staff are very nice and professional. Checking in and out was fast. Housekeepers did a good job making the room clean. The included breakfast was good. The only things were that the elevators and parking lot were too small. Very convenient location, a short walking distance to many places.
