I certainly appreciated our visit for a coffee. The hotel preserves it's history and sitting in the lobby early one can easily imagine oneself in the turbulent early twentieth century.
Another time I walked by and heard silky smooth jazz protruding from their veranda.
However, the location high up in the commercial district and our preference for modern rooms made us choose a different hotel.

Probably most important: The bus station is connected to downtown and the airport by an underground subway station just outside of the bus terminal.

The restaurant and supermarket are somewhat overpriced -- at least one vendor charged me a "tourist" price. But the vendors are very convenient.
