I booked for one person, but my friend arrived later. They asked for an extra 30 dollars. the personnel did not recognize any responsibility and suggested my friend was just visiting. Made no sense.

i appreciated the location. it was central and convenient. the room design was well done, and it seemed modern. i could easy find restaurants nearby.
the noise levels were an issue. loud music played until late at night, and it really disturbed my sleep. i think the hotel needs better soundproofing to address this concern.
