"Beautiful hotel, great location - just a couple of blocks from the center of town - and a very helpful front desk. Rooms are well appointed with a very comfortable bed. Highly recommended!"
"Very slow WiFi, in a area where 1.5 million English speakers come to pay respect to their fallen ancestors you would expect that the property would attempt to accommodate. I am not asking them to learn English, just have a sheet to hand out to each guest that states what time is breakfast, what time is checkout and WiFi code"
