"Heart of the city, right off the main metro line. Front desk and bar staff were friendly and helpful. Maid service was horrible. Took a tip first day and it only seemed to build contempt for us. Not at all a safe neighborhood, pick pockets routinely in handcuffs on the street, tons of beggers, and homeless. Don't bring kids unless they want to check out the strip club next door. Just know what you're going into and you'll be fine."
