The room was not ideal. There were marks on the walls. This is unacceptable. My view was also terrible. I looked directly at traffic. I expected a city view at this price point.

The location IS GREAT. It is close to MANY restaurant options. The hotel provided refillable water bottles. A water fountain was also available in reception.
The parking garage has a steep ramp. It was difficult to see oncoming vehicles. I paid for the privilege to keep my rental car safe. The electrical sockets near the bed were only USB-a outlets.

i stayed here for three nights. the room had adequate space and it was clean. the location was central, so getting around was easy.
the bathroom had sub-par lighting, so applying makeup was hard. my room felt small, and i found it to be impractical. the business desk wasn't very useful to me.

the staff were helpful when i checked in and out, so that was appreciated.
the room smelled of dampness. i was told it was due to the proximity to the rainforest, but that explanation is insufficient. air conditioning seemed necessary at all times to reduce this smell, it did not completely eliminate it.
