Rooms were spacious and the bathrooms as well. There was a restaurant on premises that served breakfast, lunch and dinner. If moving around in public transportation, there were bus stops and train stations nearby. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The decor was modern and artistic. There was even a hdmi port on the tv for you to connect your own devices which i appreciated a bunch.

This was a perfect place for a week away. The room was large enough that I could spend downtime in the room comfortably. The location was close to walk to many downtown highlights and to catch transit to anywhere including the airport. Highly recommend this hotel.
