Nice place. 2 fabric chairs in the room were a bit old and gross, but the rest of the room was great. Fridge was tiny. Didn’t fit the small tub of ice cream we bought. Bed was comfy and clean. Nice modern feel.

Overall pleasant stay

Usually happy with our stays here but this time had to ask for a room change due to excessive plant noise in floors 3&4 making for unpleasant environment in the room. Staff were able to reposition us thank goodness. Otherwise room was clean albeit chairs in unit need replacing - very uncomfortable.
