Really disliked my stay in there.
The hotel was in very poor conditions. I´d booked my room, 3 months in advance for my honeymoon, and asked for the highest floor, non smoking room.. They gave me their worst room, and for my surprise, when i got to my room, it was smelling like ciggarete. I´ve called the manager, to try to sort things out, and he told me that was nothing he could go (in a very unpolite way). It was the best room avaiable. I told him, that it is ok, if that was the only room that he had, he should find me another hotel, because that wasn´t what i had payed for. And i wouldnt spend a night in that room. Only after that, he manage to get me another room. There are many options in the city. You can get a better room easyly.

Hotel is above a shopping mall and surrounded by restaurants and VERY loud bars. You can here the sounds from the bars in your room. Nearby Hilton Hotel also has loud music from their patio area
