Solid Stay with Spacious Rooms

comfortable beddinglarge showerspa bathbalcony view
My room featured comfortable bedding. The shower was large. I especially liked the spa bath. The room design added to the stay. The size of the room was amazing. I found the new room very good. It featured two balconies. The views were awesome.
The hotel did not offer a great atmosphere. The front staff weren't rude, but they also weren't energetic. It didn't.

underwhelming service and noisy location

loud clangunresolved issue
the location wasn't as peaceful as i hoped. my room faced a car park exit, each car departure created a loud clanging noise as it drove over metal plates. this noise persisted until about 1 am. additionally, the service fell short of expectations. the on-demand movies in my room had technical issues that were never resolved, despite multiple reports to the front desk.
