No breakfast service at 8AM

Everything was great except that when I went to the restaurant for breakfast around 8AM, there was nobody taking orders. I called out “hello” multiple times from the counter toward the kitchen and nothing. I was told that breakfast was supposed to be served starting at 7AM. So that is my only complaint.

Noisy. Even midweek, so don’t plan on quiet on weekends. They ear plugs, but I cannot use them. I used an app and thankfully was tired enough. Staff was great. Hotel itself is fine, clean. Area was walking distance to some tourist areas, but some surrounding areas were dirty and many sidewalks blocked and people begging for money, though I never felt unsafe even as a solo female traveler. Bus travel is available though more limited than I’m used to.

Underwhelmed

Ordering room service was a waste of time. Hour plus wait for ice cold food to be delivered in a take away box and a plastic bag, cappuccino machine was down so asked for a latte and got black coffee. They did remove the meal charge from the room. Valet was very underwhelming for $45 when theres no self park option. Waited and at one point they claimed they couldnt find our car. Overall not bad but those two things would make me think twice about rebooking .
