The hotel is conveniently in an ideal area. People there are kind. I wish they told us about the amnesties there - for ex. there were microwaves in a room on the other side of where we were staying, we didn’t know . The carpet was also wet. The room was nice though. Bar is a rip off, $12 for what tasted like straight juice.
