Convenient location, sparkling clean, comfortable room (particularly the bed and pillows). The ambiance is way nicer than I was expecting with a modern decor and lots of light in the public spaces. The only improvement I would recommend is replacing the towels with something more comfortable. I had a nice stay and would definitely return.
