The hotel has a great location, just a few blocks from the Obelisk and the Florida shopping street, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Unfortunately, the rooms were a bit dark and rundown, which detracted from my overall experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, adding a nice touch to my stay. While the breakfast had some nice pastries, it could really use more variety. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but there are a few areas that need improvement.

The hotel is in a prime location, just a short walk from key attractions like the Obelisk and Florida shopping street. While the rooms were clean and accommodating, the dining options left something to be desired with limited choices. Overall, the staff was friendly, but the facilities could use some improvement.
