the room was modern and clean. it had a luxurious bed i enjoyed. the location overlooking a park was GREAT. i will be back for sure.

i stayed for three nights. i had a dark room with NO view at the back of the hotel. if you want a park view, you should select and pay for THAT option. surprisingly , i found little storage space.
