We reserved and paid for a room with two beds several months ago. When we arrived we were told that all of the rooms with two beds were already taken. We were given a room with one bed and a nasty sofa bed. We are not happy.

I stayed here recently for a weekend for some shopping and sightseeing and found that it was a good option as it was close to several food and shopping options as well as the metro. The hotel offers a shuttle both to and from the airport so that was also a big plus for us. The one issue that we had was that while we paid for breakfast via Expedia, the hotel indicated that they were not seeing that we had that option available to us. We therefore had to pay for breakfast for each of the days we were there. (Major disappointment)

It was a good place to lay our head but the room showed its age. Bathroom ceiling looked like it was about to crumble and the light was rusted out of the mount. Otherwise the room was clean and they swapped towels each day and cleaned the room every day as well.
