Location is awesome. Few steps away from St, Basilica and a lot of good restaurants. The only thing I didn’t like was the bath towels are limited. We requested for extra bath towels but they called us back after few minutes in our room and asking questions why do we need more towels and mentioned that bath towels are meant for five people but there were only 2 of us in the room. It was so hot during our stay. Of course, we need to take a shower and refresh everyday. That’s the only reason I put 4 stars but other than that their. suite room is pretty big and clean hotel.

I would like to give a 5 star review on this property but I just couldn't. I really like the fact that it is so close to the Basilica, to great restaurants, supermarket and public transportation. Breakfast was excellent as well. Room size was decent. However, my AC did not work. It was really hot when I stayed there and I reported the matter to the front desk staff but the matter was not resolved. For three nights, my sleep was not very comfortable. Will I stay here again? Probably not, unless the AC in my room was fixed.
