the room was a good size. it had everything i needed for the night (i especially liked the blackout curtains). the bar was busy, so i tried a local spot for dinner. breakfast included many options.

The location suited me wonderfully. It was near an event space i needed. my room was comfortable and included an iron and hairdryer, very useful features! the staff was friendly, and i found them more efficient than during a previous stay.

The duvet was very thick. I woke up sweating and needed to adjust the air conditioning. i felt the breakfast could have been better for a hotel of this standard.
