This hotel was a good location and value, with fun theming throughout. We enjoyed the drinks on the rooftop bar as well. Room was clean and had fridge. I knew booking it that there was no window, but we did miss it. a/c in room kept room cool but was noisy, as well as guests walking thru hallways at evening felt like they were in your room with thin walls. Staff was friendly. Thought $30 USD cash only deposit was odd for room keys. Overall good stay though and would recommend.
