4. So, if you want a classic hotel with great services, large rooms, and a great location, this is a great place to stay as long as you are prepared for it being a little worn inside the rooms, and for the issue of the room divider if you are getting one of the suites.

7. Again, had I had more time in the city perhaps the location wouldn't have been an issue but it was because I was pressed for time and seeing as it wa out of the way I took at least 6 taxis that could've been easily avoided.
