Great area, helpful staff.

2/10

We requested early check in long time ago and were guaranteed to obtain a room for early check in. But even after 2:30 pm the room was said not ready, but actually it was cheating.
1-night trip

8/10

We certainly enjoyed this hotel’s location to nearby restaurants & shops. An added bonus was a free mall shuttle service. Our room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the lush courtyard setting. Downsides: no early check in availability (especially for guests that have travelled more than 36 hours); no free coffee in the lobby; no free breakfast (especially for other guests in our group that paid for a premium suite).
