The hotel is modern and sleek designed with spacious room and bathroom, kitchen utensils and pots are a bit worn, the breakfast is really good with a wide range of choices, the only thing that annoys is there is no YouTube.

Very quiet and nice property. Only suggestion is a better light blocking from the hallway. The light in the hallway can turn on and light up the whole bedroom.
