Es un muy buen hotel para estar cerca del Centro de Convenciones Puerta de Oro, sin embargo no es tan central para ir a buenos sitios de comida y tomar algo después de una jornada de trabajo, en promedio un taxi a la zona norte para comer esta entre 10 y 12 mil pesos. y mas o menos 10 -15 minutos de distancia
