I have stayed here twice. It was between $99 and $139/night when I stayed. This is cheap compared to other hotels in this city.

I would recommend it if you just need a cheap place to sleep and shower.

I saw Verdi's "Aida" here. The opera house and lobbies are stunningly beautiful. The opera was amazing, with the text translation immediately in front of every individual. I would love to see some other operas here!
