Elizabeth Lifestyle Hotel

Elizabeth Lifestyle Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel staff were wonderful. Aided us in getting a taxi nearly every night. Although we knew the beds in the room, we’re twin. We thought that they would be configured into a queen size bed. That was a disappointment. The view at our window was terrible. It looked like it was looking upon a junk pile. Also, the location was very far out. Every time we left, it costs nearly $20 to get to a restaurant or attraction. I believe the description should note that. We would’ve spent more money on the room had we known it would’ve saved us on all the taxis. The hotel itself, though was clean. The breakfast in the morning was adequate and the staff were very, very friendly and helpful."
