Property was very modern and contemporary. Rooms were nice but very basic and a little noisy. Breakfast was very basic, mostly continental. Rate was reasonable. I should have paid a luttle more fore a hot breakfast.

Overall, I really like the property! A few little things bothered me in my room. First, there was not hot water in my faucet. And the floors felt gritty when I walked in my bare feet, but everything else was great. I would stay again.
