modern gymfunctional workspacescentral location
the hotel gym is awesome it has three treadmills. i like the two stationary bikes they got. workspaces were a really great addition too, i could get some work done. the hotel is really close to the beach and the city center, so i never got bored.
the parking situation was stressful and i think it should be better organized.

Excellent Value and Location

pre check-in communicationunderfloor heating
I found the pre-check-in communication regarding parking to be excellent. The support I received was very good. A fire alarm occurred at 5:30 AM and it was sorted quickly. The room had underfloor heating, I found that great. The fridge was also a great thing to have in a hotel room.
