Solid Choice
bus stop good breakfast helpful staff
The hotel has a bus stop nearby. The WTC mall is also a short walk from the hotel, around 5-7 minutes. Breakfast offers a good selection. Staff was helpful with my luggage to and from taxis. The location is near the beach and city.
The room smelled slightly of cigarette smoke.

dated facilities with a couple of hiccups
old furniture early wake up
the location was fine since it was near everything. it was basically where i needed to be, i guess.
The room i got assigned seemed pretty worn. the furniture was old and the carpets looked like they had seen better days, really! also, the housekeeping staff woke me up way too early asking about my checkout time. It was a bit much. the card kept failing and needed reprogramming, annoying after a long day.
