The pillows are not firm enough and was hard on my neck. Suggest firmer pillows. Also, there was something outside or downstairs which kept knocking every few minutes…maybe a vent or heater. But was noisy.

More of a motel than a hotel. Lots of shouting from the carpark outside one evening made it hard to sleep. Not many facilities in the local area, and not really somewhere that I was excited to go back to in the evening

Pleasant. It was enjoyable and relaxing. Expensive but close to the airport and downtown. Not much traffic in the commute. Breakfast is bad unless you like scrambled egg from powder and synthetic fake sausage bread slices. Excellent staff.
