Okay Stay at the Hotel

convenient location rooftop restaurant small room unhelpful staff
The location was convenient. It was close to many attractions and public transportation was easily accessible. The rooftop restaurant offered fine views, I thought. Food and drinks were available there.
My room was quite small and the pictures online were misleading. The staff was sometimes unhelpful. I asked for information about tours but didn't receive it.
