The hotel's location proved convenient for accessing attractions. The rooftop bar gave excellent city views. I liked the daily room cleaning and bedding changes. The air conditioning was very efficient, and maintained a comfortable room temperature.
The milk for tea and coffee had to be requested, I would prefer it readily available in the room.
