So convenient right in the center of things — easy come and go. Choice to have your room serviced or not disturbed with the click of a button on the door. Lots of amenities provided. Very comfortable bed and pillows — beds are soft, which I love!

7.6/10 Good! (90 reviews)
The property was clean and innovative. The front desk unfriendly and I felt I was disturbing when asked few questions. My room (suit for 3) was not set up for 3 but only for two people. The housekeeper was very friendly and helped us setting it up quickly but the front desk seemed to be irritated because she was asked. Not enough charging outlets in the room. Not a single one in the bedroom - only 2 for the nightstands but they were behind the bed stand so if you want to charge your phone at night you can’t. Overall a good property but the front desk staff should be more friendly and welcoming.
