convenient stay near the city of arts and sciences

short walkcontinental selectiontasty options
the location worked well for visiting the hemisferic, the science museum, and the aquarium. i found all of these places within a short walk. the breakfast included a comprehensive continental selection that catered to various diets. i especially appreciated the tasty options available each morning.
The air conditioning leaked, causing water to drip through the ceiling. This made for a slight inconvenience.

faulty air conditioningthin mattress
The air conditioning didn't work well. I reported it on the first day, but no one ever came to fix it. it was really too hot to sleep. the double bed was very narrow. the kids slept on a sofa bed. The mattress was so thin you could feel every bar underneath it. also, breakfast was way too busy. i sometimes had to wait for a table to become free.
