"I was incredibly happy I chose this location. The suite that I stayed in is HUGE (far more space than I needed!), it was comfortable, and had easy access to the city. Most importantly, though, was the quality of the service. I interacted with three different representatives at the hotel, and all three were excellent and helpful. In fact, one gentleman hailed a cab for me to take to the airport and negotiated a good rate on my behalf. I would definitely recommend the Midan Hotel Suites."
