This is in a good location, the building is a bit old it seems. The front desk is courteous but either lie or themselves don't have full information. Do not be fooled by the details page, they don't have parking and they lie about the rates. One day they told me they would cover my parking, abd one day they told me parking is 1000 per night. By checkout, all of this was forgotten and I was asked for 4000 (2000 per night) for parking. Overall, I will suggest to stay away from this place.
