Good property especially with children. It is directly across the street from McDonald's and Frisby which both have kid play areas (Frisby is free). Easy access to cabs and Uber to take you everywhere. If you're here for business or on family trip wi5h children this is not a bad option. Breakfast is good which cold and warm options.

Hotel in general was good. The employees were very nice and helpful at all times including the front desk, dining, and cleaning crew. The hotel is well located but the lobby smells of humidity and also the rooms (we had 2).
