This hotel has spacious rooms for Asia. Super clean! But needs some updates and better water pressure. However, the location could be good if it were not for the FOUR parades, demonstrations, religious concerts and pro-conserve rallies.

The service is phenomenal. The staff are great. I haven't had a bad ex...

But the vibe did a little time warp once we got to our room floor. The polished modern feel faded into a kind of faded grandeur—like the remnants of a once-glamorous era designed for the bougie elite of ye...
