The hotel was beautiful and clean, and the location was convenient. However, there was no hot water, so I had to shower
Pros:

The hotel was beautiful and clean, and the location was convenient.

Cons:

For more than $500 per night, I expected a much better experience. Throughout my stay, there was ongoing confusion about the breakfast advertised as included with my booking, and I had to pay extra. There was also no hot water, so I had to shower with cold water.

During check-in, we were assisted directly in front of a housekeeping supply room. Staff were constantly going in and out, making the area crowded and noisy. These issues were disappointing, especially considering the price I paid.

Not worth the money.
Pros:

Nice location

Cons:

I took a shower and while I still had shampoo in my hair we run out of hot water. So basically after showering for 2 minutes. The bathroom light was also broken. And even though it said breakfast included it only means certain items included. For the price we paid for this hotel definitely not acceptable.

Imposible una mejor ubicación!
Pros:

La habitación es grande y tiene una linda vista a la ciuidad y el gym es chico pero funcional. Las instalaciones en general estuvieron ok, un poco caro para lo que es, pero la ubicación vale realmente la pena.

Cons:

Me hubiera gustado saber, antes de pagar, que el desayuno que ofrecen gratuitamente solo incluye el buffet ¨eurpeo¨, que incluye oan, frutas, lacteos, charcutería, pero no otro tipo de proteínas como huevos. Si quieres el desayuno buffet americano, entonces tiene que pagar 10usd más por persona. Te dan un cupor por un día de consumo para cada persona, pero no para el segundo (nosotros estuvimos ahí dos noches).

Great hotel but with additional fee for breakfast

Spacious room, comfortable bed, close to the subway

Cons:

We reserved the bedroom with breakfast through Booking, but when we arrived we’re told about an additional 10 dollar fee per person/day to enjoy the full American breakfast

Muito boa, voltaremos …..
Pros:

Relativamente perto do metro, boas instalações, apesar do ultrapassado carpete nos corredores e quartos, quarto de tamanho excelente….

Cons:

Os funcionários poderiam ser mais bem treinados….. O barman, definitivamente, escolheu a profissão errada….. Grosseiro, mal encarado, jogava as coisas todas dentro do bar, nos atendeu muuuuito mal, e por isso deveria ser repreendido….
