"We were on the first floor rm 112 .right next to a mechanical room.There was a large fan noise that kept us awake half the night. There was a tempurature control didn’t work so the room was to hot all night and the mattress was to soft and should be thrown out if you to close to the edge you were in danger of falling out of bed all in all not a good experience"
"The staff were friendly and helpful. It’s great that it’s connected to the mall, but you still need to go outside to access another part of the mall. I liked the fact that everything around was in a walkable distance and they also offer a free shuttle bus to the airport."
