The area is very safe, right next to the presidency. I hope they can build elevators that get you from the main building to the rooms on the 4th floor. The views from the 4th floor rooms are amazing!

The service is always good, rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. I prefer the main building as it feels more stylish but the new rooms are great as well.
