Not worth the price, stay somewhere else!
Pros:

Room was nice and well furnished. Very comfortable bed. Great location!

Cons:

Room warm and air conditioning wasn't functioning well. Room service not available and staff didn't speak very good English, extremely rude! Not worth the higher expense! Charge a reset fee for what I have no idea!
