"We had outstanding desk help in the form of Kenya and Jose. Always ready to offer suggestions for dining, or sights not to be missed; always with a laugh or a joke. The location was not quiet. Just half a block from a fire department. Lots of sirens. It isn't the Hyatt of the 70's or 80's but it was pleasant. Wasn't impressed with the service in their restaurant, Ema, but there are tons of great eating places within walking distance."
