I found the location very convenient, the pulse of the city was just steps away. Staff was very lovely and helpful, especially with directions and local tips. The rooms were super clean, and I notice the linens smelled fresh. I did enjoy the complimentary vouchers for drinks at the bar nearby.

My room included plush bedding and cozy decor. The lighting was soft, the space helped me to unwind, and a restful night it promised. I observe soundproofing was good, blocking most city noise.

The hotel had a modern gym, stocked with necessary equipment for a workout. The lobby decor was artful, the space inviting to linger and relax. I notice a business center was available needing to catch up with work.
