Acceptable stay

central location rooftop restaurant unfriendly staff management staff
The location rocks I thinks. Major attractions are close. The breakfast rocks too it had plenty of fruits, breads, etc, and I liked the rooftop restaurant alot.
The staff was not all that friendly. They just did not care to interact with customers. I think the lady in the black suit, like management was worst, she chatted with the staff instead of helping guests.
