the room was spacious with good bathroom facilities (i loved the toiletries!). it was nice to have a coffee pod machine in the room. i found the streaming tv a great addition after a long day.

The staff was attentive. The hotel checked me in efficiently. The restaurant downstairs was also convenient. The room had great decor and was super clean. I will definitely book again. I had a fantastic time.

The curtains and blinds were poor, not keeping out the light well. The windows did not shut properly. They were bad at keeping out street noise. I got awakened by the light and noise around 6:00am.
