I stayed in a beautiful king room. it had wood floors instead of carpet. the staff were super nice and polite. I talked to many of them. there were a couple nice rooftop areas with great views.
the room felt very old! the beds were stiff and uncomfortable. the area around the place felt dirty, and the stay didn't feel safe.
