Overall, I have appreciated my stay. I got an upgrade to a bigger room with a view. I found the gym a bit outdated, but it was open 24 hours, and I enjoyed a few workouts during my visit. For the room itself, I particularly liked the walk-in closet and windows. The neighbours were noisy. With ear plugs, I was able to sleep.
