helpful staffconsistent cleanlinessmissing edgingzero apology
The hotel boasts a modern industrial design that I found very appealing. Staff were GREAT and helpful at all times. Breakfast was certainly good too. Cleanliness was consistent throughout the hotel.
The shower lacked any edging. This resulted in the bathroom floor becoming soaked after each shower. I had to ask for a squeegee to manage the water myself. There was no explanation of this issue. There was zero apology whatsoever.

The gym was a great bonus, I saw treadmills and stationary bikes! The buffet breakfast offered various breads, pastries, hot foods, cereals, beverages and fruit. Free bikes were available to explore the city. I took advantage of this service daily!
There was no sink inside the toilet, I had to go back into the room to wash my hands.
