We had a great stay at Aria on Bank! The whole place was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the rooms were warm with the heating on before we arrived. Great water pressure in the shower and enough crockery and cutlery for our needs in the kitchen. In the reviews we read, there was mention of the parking not being easy, we had the front upstairs rooms and parking for that unit was easy. The staff were very helpful, and any communication prior to arrival was very prompt. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others.
