Try another option!
It was clean, nice location and we got an upgraded room as they told us.
There were some issue that we got quite disappointed by hotel’s policy. We get charged by a hotel taxi claiming double price than the normal ride ( we weren’t aware of the price) . We felt very disappointed of a hotel trying to mislead the people staying there about the price, since we didn’t plan to get a taxi through the hotel and they insist on the entrance.
The other negative side of this hotel is the noise from the street and the cars. I couldn’t get to sleep due to so much noise ( worth to mention that we stayed at 13th floor). I am happy that we stayed just a night there and no more.

This is in my opinion a five-star hotel at a budget price from the room size to the little things like three bottles of water instead of two. Nice view. Big comfortable bed. I would like more control over the AC it's set for 18° c. That's a little bit cold for me and I can't change it. It keeps going back to the same thing. It's got probably the best breakfast I've been in ever and I've been traveling for 3 years . Been into a lot of hotels and this is probably they best chance a little bit every morning. People are crowded in the restaurant. The biggest problems you want to get up and get more and they'll clean your table up by the time you get back and somebody else is sitting there. They need a little sign on the tables you can turn over and say Occupied. They have a bar restaurant on the 4th floor, same floor as the breakfast. Same floor as the pool. The same floor as as the gym and the salon. Everything's top notch and they're so many employees that are smiling and want to help you all the time. They even have a new razor for you in the bathroom, which is a first, plenty of drawer space in the hotel room to put things, extra pillows on the bed besides the four for the king size bed. The main restaurant down on the ground floor could be a little better in the sense of not too many go there but the food is great. Service is great! The girls are cute and very helpful, but the kitchen is out of sight and it appears that the restaurant is an afterthought. A large Canal Walk
