The staff was amazing!!! Our room ended up being smaller than we expected and the staff was super friendly and willing to help us out and offer us a bigger room. It’s the perfect location with so many option right when you walk out of the hotel. The streets are full of people and they close the streets to allow people to walk around and it feels super safe. Would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!
