This properly for our family was excellent location. For shopping, dinning, and for sightseeing. The hotel was very nice. The only negative would be the air conditioner next to our room was a bit noisy. I got used to it and fell fast asleep.

Originally we were suppose to stay April 8 to 14th but only stayed for one night. There was no hot water in the room the first and only night that we stayed. Also in the morning there was no hot water. The restroom faucets had scale buildup, restroom was dirty. Clerk said she couldn’t refund my money for the rest of the days that were already paid. We didn’t want to deal was the hassle with rest of the days, so left.
