Modern hotel but quite small, especially the bathroom. However the bedding was premuim, climate control no problem, and quiet until about 650 am when people start to stir for the 7am breakfast. Breakfast was quite good with many options for food and beverage.

We didn’t eat breakfast there. We stayed in a suite. And one thing, we feel that the bathroom sink and shower area could be bigger. Reason, while using the toilet you should not have your knees hit when someone comes into the bathroom.
