Pros:

Nice Breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location with all around shops, restaurants and attractions. Good room size, but a bit noisy at night.

Cons:

Upon check-out, the staff was too aggressive about the keys. Our group was coming down, not all at once, because the lift is small. She kept asking for the keys, and questioned that some pieces were missing, which we returned all in the same condition as given. It was so strange.
