The staff was excellent. They bring good attentions. They have a problem with the address they have in expedia, it takes you to other place around T zone (which is in the center), but his real location is far away (around 11 kilometers). The phone numbers they have in expedia and the one appears in google did not work. When I arrived, I did not find the hotel cuz his wrong address and no body answer my calls in those numbers, I have to go to other hotel for that night.
