Facility & staff were EXCELLENT, but..

The facility and the staff were great and excellent. But I had to put a lower rate because people in the next door were so loud throughout the night. I heard the screaming and banging noise constantly (fighting???), that scared me. Staffs are not at night on site, and I could not ask anybody to check them out.

First off, great location. Heart of District V and plenty of shops, bars, restaurants, etc. at the doorstep. Very touristy area but great access to plenty of sight seeing. The room is tucked away where you get quiet. Good room for bare minimum needs. However, we went in a nice heat wave and there’s no AC in the room. No breeze as the room is tucked inside a building. WiFi was not working and our signal was weak in the interior. One towel for your stay and no cleaning. Other than that, I personally would stay again in cooler weather. Looks a bit sketchy trying to get in but felt safe the entire time. The communication and instructions from the host was great and easy.
