The staff were really friendly and the room was nice and clean. But, while I stayed for three nights, I did not get my room cleaned once. Even when I asked for new towels in the morning, they were not delivered when I came back in the afternoon. They said the computer system to manage cleaning was not working, but... In addition, some extremely noisy club music was on until 2:30am every night and it was very disturbing. So, ask for a room on the quiet side (if there is any).
