We asked for an upgrade to our room and they gave us the top floor on a corner for some excellent views!!! We ate breakfast buffet for seven days and all seven days was different food types. Honestly I was looking for the bacon a second day but all different meats were delicious.

Not a high end luxury property, but Great room and facility for the price. Very convenient to a huge variety of restaurants within 2 minutes walking. Very safe area. Perfect for a business stay, walk to malls and banking centers, with a good desk, fridge, and coffee maker. Lastly a very relaxing pool, 24 gym, and lounge on the roof with amazing views of the city.
