Good hotel for tourists
We stayed here for four nights. The staff at the desk were very nice and went to some lengths to be helpful, including phoning a restaurant repeatedly to confirm a booking we had made after they couldn't get through the first time. The lobby was very glitzy but the upper floor that we were staying on looked slightly shabbier, although we didn't mind, as the rooms were clean and the hotel was good value.
It was quite noisy in our room. We had the ceiling fan on which blocked out any noise from surrounding rooms (although I don't think there was much) but there was still a lot of noise from outside, especially the loading of garbage trucks very early in the morning, and people shouting and screaming on the street several times each night. The area is convenient for sightseeing and shopping and although there are a lot of homeless people nearby, they did not bother us and we felt perfectly safe.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel for tourists, as it is clean, convenient and good value. Although the rooms/bathrooms are on the small side and the decor is slightly dated, this is not really an issue if you're planning to spend a lot of time outside the hotel.
