Hotel has comfortable rooms, premium services, and a prime downtown location

Great Pool Experience

The heated outdoor pool was a good escape after a long day of exploring. I enjoyed lounging by the pool while taking in the city views and found the temperature perfect for a refreshing dip at any time of the day.

Convenient Parking Garage

The on-site parking garage was a real lifesaver during our stay. It was easy to access, and I felt secure leaving my vehicle there. The added convenience made my trip to the city much smoother.

Laundry Made Easy

Having laundry facilities on-site was a game-changer for my extended stay. I could easily wash and freshen up my clothes without needing to hunt for a laundromat, which made my trip much more enjoyable.

Impressive In-Room Tech

I loved the high-tech elevators that only let you access your floor with your room key. It added an extra layer of security and made me feel more comfortable during my stay. Plus, they were super efficient.

6.4/10

My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. While I found the rooms spacious and clean, I faced some challenges with service and dining options. The noise during the mornings was quite bothersome, but the location was decent for exploring the area, and the parking rates weren’t outrageous compared to nearby options.

Rooms

8.0

The room was spacious and clean, although the carpet felt a bit worn. Overall, it was still comfortable and provided a good night’s sleep.

Service

6.0

The service was inconsistent. Some staff members were helpful, but my check-in experience felt a bit cold and unwelcoming. I did appreciate the quick response for extra towels.

Location

7.0

The location was fairly central, making it easy to walk to attractions and access public transport. However, it wasn't as serene as I would have liked due to street noise.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were quite limited, with the breakfast not included and lacking variety. It would have been nice to have more convenient and tasty breakfast selections.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were decent, with a nice fitness area, though the restaurant options fell short of expectations as it wasn't open for a proper meal.
