Pros:

The most outstanding was the staff...very friendly, professional and helpful staff (from security guy, reception ladies, and cleaning ladies). They assisted us with everything we needed including keeping our luggage while we went to attend the graduation.

The location was very convenient to all facilities we needed. It was a walking distance.
