"Hotel Ambiance is very good. Location is conveniently located to the most of the places. Around there are some good food options. Restaurant in the 5th floor food is very good and upscale but watch for the prices. I feel it is very expensive. Pls watch before you order. At the end it is a surprise. Breaksfast is expensive $35 to $40 per person is bit expensive. For staying and relax is perfect."
