Disliked: Staff & service
When we arrived, we saw a staff member working on a laptop near the front desk. I told her my name and that we would like to check in. She crossly said, ‘Didn’t you get an email with your room number and key code?’ I had not looked because I did not realize there was contactless check-in and check-out. She could have been a little more polite and welcoming. The road in front of the hotel was completely torn up due to construction, so they did warn us about that. The room was on a mezzanine level so we had to drag our suitcases down from the 2nd floor if we wanted to use the elevator. The room was the tiniest one I have ever stayed in. There was one window way up high so you needed to stand on the bed to close the curtain. We barely had enough room to walk on either side of the bed. However, the bed was comfortable, the shower was excellent, and the room was clean. Breakfast was served starting at 6:30 AM weekdays and was quite good. I would not stay there again due to the cramped quarters.

the room was very comfortable and the bathroom great. I liked the rooftop patio. The jazz festival was nice to hear in the background and I am glad it quit by midnight so we could sleep.

Very practical to receive a code to enter the hotel and room. Small room byt big enough. Nice practical bathroom and nice interior in the room. Silent towards the corridor.

Beware the 5th floor

We thought we were booking a large room. It was actually the most expensive room we saw. What we got was the most uncomfortable room I’ve ever stayed in. There were beams and metal poles from the ceiling to the floor in the whole room. At least 10 of them. It was so difficult to move around without bumping into one of them. They literally covered one side of the bed. So weird. The check in was great. Breakfast was not bad. The bed was wonderful. The shower was weird as there was yet again another beam in the way. The location was perfect. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’d never stay here again but it certainly won’t be on the 5 Th floor

Room was clean and reasonably sized, bathroom was a little bit dated, but perfectly functional. My 3-star rating is a little harsh, however there was no desk in the room, so I was unable to work comfortably. power sockets were ample but not conveniently placed at the head of the bed, they are also on the lighting circuit, so you need to keep some of the lights on to use them. I couldn't work out how the T.V worked, gave up. You do not get a key \ card, you get a code delivered by SMS or Email, something to be aware of. All that being said would I stay again? - definitely!
