Pros:

Tesis çok merkezi ve güvenli bir bölgede. 51 st metrosu ve starbucks yanında. Her yere yürüme mesafesinde. Yakınında market bulunuyor. Özellikle çocuklu aileler düşünebilir. Günlük bir kupon veriliyor .

Cons:

Set üstü ocak yok. Mini bar her gün yenilenmedi. Özellikle farklı kültürlerden gelen misafirler için açıklamalar daha detaylı olabilir. Günlük kupon veriliyor fakat odadaki 3 dolar olması gereken su 12 dolar. Kuponun nasıl kullanılacağı anlatılmıyor.

Buon soggiorno, posizione eccellente e staff molto disponibile.
Pros:

Posizione impagabile, a pochi metri dalla linea verde. Staff estremamente disponibile 24 ore su 24. Stanza ampia e ben disposta, bagno piccolo ma funzionale, letti davvero comodi. Il divano letto era un po’ meno confortevole.
Le foto degli annunci sono molto fedeli alla realtà.

Cons:

La pulizia della stanza poteva essere migliore e alcune finiture dell’hotel risultano un po’ datate. L’insonorizzazione dalla strada era scarsa, ma dopo aver chiesto un cambio stanza siamo stati spostati dal 6° al 23° piano e la situazione è migliorata. Lo scarico della doccia tendeva a intasarsi spesso.
