Breakfast good. The dining area is very spacious and pleasant. The free wine and cheese in the evening is a nice touch. Rooms modern and nice. Only gripe was window sounded like it was open and felt like a breeze coming in although window didn’t appear
To be open.
Enjoyed our stay. Location is right in downtown, close to everything. Very modern and clean hotel. Rooms are very thoughtfully designed. The furniture choices, design is superb.
Wonderful surprise was the 5-6:30 reception hour serving wine/beer/snacks. And the breakfast was tasty, great options, not like the typical boring tasteless one.
Only gripe was the $12 per day parking charge. Didnt know about it until I reached. But all in all a superb hotel
Most Staff was very friendly! Breakfast was good except when they ran out early and the coffee machine was broken. Relax hour was good except when the wine keg was broken.
I don’t travel with pets so I don’t like rooms that smell like pets have been there. Our room was fresh and clean and even the sheets smelled so good! Great breakfast and super friendly staff too.
Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. It is a little bit of a walk to downtown but they have a shuttle that runs regularly to give you a lift to and from town until 10 m, which was great
