This was my first stay at a APA hotel. I had seen some negative reviews about size of room, noise, etc so i came with some concern that it wouldn't be a good stay. However. In my almost two week stay, i really enjoyed the hotel and its services and features. Yes, the rooms are smaller than what people might expect, but they are very funtional for what you might need and clean. While the hotel is adjacent to a busy entertainment district and square, i felt the noise levels were acceptable ( i was on the 10th floor) and most events seemed to end before 11pm, so it was mostly quiet the majority of the night. The breakfast was excellent, as there are a variety of both Asian and Western choices as well as many juice, coffee, and tea choices. I would pick this hotel as a top choice for the price range it exist in, as it is very convenient to the area's attractions and services and meets the average traveler's needs.
