A lovely stay and great staff

The property is very clean and well-cared for. The location is also excellent, and we appreciated having enough space for both of our suitcases. The staff was also very lovely. Our "issue" (and it's not a really big deal at all) is that the "Modernist" design so touted by the ads, was just really hokey, and even looked a bit cheap. The light fixtures in the room were WAY too bright, and the hallways were just a bit grim. Of course, this is very subjective.

Room was sub-standard, TV channels didn't work, I think I found two which worked, window may as well have been open when closed, so noisy even with it closed. Heating/Cooling didn't work, I turned it off and still had to open the window while sleeping = no sleep at all due to the noise. Plumbing loud, i could hear when people flushed their toilet next door/upstairs. Only one towel provided, bar service disorganisednot amazing, better hotels nearby
