My experience was this place was perfect. It was quiet, convenient (for me, as someone who thought the walk to El Centro was the PERFECT exercise), clean, and even a bit like a resort in that I didn't have to leave the property each day if I didn't want to. The club on the 51st floor fun. I would totally go back.
