The hotel offers spacious rooms that are elegantly furnished, creating a cozy and intimate feeling for long-term stays. The quality towels, robes, and toiletries, including moisture lotion, enhance the comfort of the rooms. However, the rooms could use more natural light and a more spacious layout.

The service was very friendly and helpful, especially Horacio, the bellman/evening guard, who was attentive with suitcases and ice. The in-house restaurant served tasty food, and the room cleaning crew was efficient. However, the service could improve in terms of being more personable.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room I stayed in was a decent size, but I couldn't help but notice that the sheets, blanket, and curtains seemed a bit old and discolored. The view of the skyscraper from my window across the hallway was nice, and the cleanliness met my expectations.

The hotel has spacious and elegantly furnished rooms with a cozy, intimate feel, quality towels, robes, and toiletries; however, the rooms had a strong unpleasant odor, making it hard to stay in for long. The service, while efficient, lacked a more personal touch. The location, albeit in a pretty seedy area of town, is in the best neighborhood for walking around. The dining experience was average, with the buffet needing more attention. Overall, the facilities met basic needs but could be improved.
