I believe the hotel was designed beautifully. But the poor maintenance causese the ware and tear shown everywhere. It is fairly clean and quiet. It located very close to a subway station (line 16). There are very limited resources around the hotel. The areas is under development. Taxi is hard to find. If you want to go to a far away destination, the front desk staff could call a taxi for you. It is no problem usually. If you want to go somewhere not so far away, none of the taxis wants to come.
