A Disappointing time in an Amazing City
Pros:

Close to food and metro stations, a few of the staff were prompt especially when we asked to move rooms.

Cons:

The walls are paper thin, so anything that happens around you can be heard, the TV was of poor quality. And the showers leaked water after they were done being used. They do not inform you if you have a conjoined room or not with random strangers, yes the door is locked by a master key but noise comes through it and it was very uncomfortable especially where we were not told and had no guarantee that the door was locked from both sides, some of the staff seemed more annoyed then welcoming. Like our questions and needs were more of an annoyance then something that should be addressed.

Pros:

Good location。

Cons:

Parking fee is expensive. And on the day before we check out, the cleaning team just open the room with the key, which was very crazy.
