the hotel has an excellent location near shops and restaurants. There are bus and subway stations close by (convenient for sightseeing). The rooms had good quality interiors and the bathrooms were quite nice.

housekeeping wasn't available daily. I had to place a magnet outside to request it. the staff's English skills seemed basic for a tourist hotel.
