I adored how the staff took my bags right up to my room. the rooms felt so modern. and clean. plus, i totally scored an upgrade and got a room with an amazing city view. I requested it. adjoining rooms were sorted too, as we were traveling as a family.

the minibar menu showed prices, but my room was missing a minibar. it would have been nice to have that extra convenience .

substantial breakfast usb charger fruit yogurt dated decor no lounge printing charge

the breakfast offered a substantial selection of both continental and cooked items. i found the inclusion of fresh fruit and yogurts quite appealing. the presence of usb chargers integrated into the wall on either side of the bed was a thoughtful addition (i found it particularly useful).

i observed that the hotel looked somewhat dated. the decor seemed as though it had not been updated in quite some time. i found the absence of a designated lounge area for work or printing to be inconvenient.
