Good location. Room was small but clean. Staff was lovely.
I stayed here a few days for two work trips in January and February 2024.
Friendly and helpful front desk staff, room was small, clean and comfortable, and location was convenient to train station, restaurants, etc. Happy hour drinks and food were great in the restaurant in the lobby area. Although service at the bar could have been better.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A nice hotel in a convenient location but unfortunately we did not get housekeeping service for 3 of the 5 days we stayed - despite requesting this on the 2nd morning at Reception and then also calling the hotel in the afternoon to confirm we would receive a housekeeping visit. I did raise this with hotel staff but don’t think they were particularly concerned - they just arranged for some clean towels to be sent up.
Prepaid for our hotel stay two weeks in advance for a studio suite only to be told that we’ve been downgraded when we got there because someone else needed the room and they were Hilton honors members so they “ bumped” us from our room. We specifically booked the studio suite because we needed the extra space. No offer for refund for the price difference of the room being downgraded, not even an apology from the staff. They basically told us too bad. Tough luck. They put us in a room the size of a walk-in closet. Horrible experience.
Overall the property is beautiful, just kinda sucked that the Mexican restaurant was closed on Sunday. Other than that the staff was very helpful and friendly and no complaints
