The location was acceptable, especially for accessing key sites.
I noticed there was excessive carpet. Even the bathroom area with the sink had carpet. It felt quite weird. I think the hotel should consider updating this feature.

the room was clean. the staff mistakenly placed a baby crib in the room, while i was out for the day. i notified the front desk. the cheerful service staff came within 5 minutes and removed the crib promptly (i was impressed by their quick response). the front desk is friendly and helpful.
check-in was awkward. the receptionist was not cute. he was not rude, but i could see he wanted us to check-in and go away. the next morning we decided to dine in and our server was very sweet.
