The amenities were great. The tourist information desk was also convenient. Maybe it was just the dorm I stayed in, but wish the outlet plugs were closer to the bed instead of across the room without any shelving to place the electronics while charging.

Staff was good, facilities were good. But room was very noisy (earplugs on the pillows should have been a give away.) Not their fault, the central location is just in the heart of the all night club zone. But if you need to sleep, think about staying somewhere a little more out of the action.
