Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, not a bad stay. I was only there for about 4 nights, room was a on the smaller side but the bed was comfortable and I had an excellent view of the city from my room. Only complaint I had was that the keycard repeatedly failed to work after housekeeping left the room and I had to constantly go to the front desk to get it sorted. Not a bad spot, would stay again.
