Conveniently located to where I needed to be, furniture in the room was significantly run down and scuffed. Facility charge is absurd…. My husband said they did have a nice gym. Room service screwed up my order twice….tho I understand the restaurant is actually independently owned

The hotel room was clean and updated, and I'm a stickler for cleanliness. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgraded room and will definitely book here again! The cafe downstairs had excellent food, good fresh quality and accommodating for food allergies including gluten-free. Beautiful rooftop views and restaurant. Great for both family or business trips. Overall a wonderful experience and look forward to booking there again!
