The room was dirty and bin not emptied. Hair on the toilet floor- not a good look. I reported it and while some cleaning was done it was still dirty. Offered poor 10% discount which I’ve not yet received.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Initially I was checked into a basement level accessible room. This wasn’t disclosed in the booking work flow, nor was it disclosed that it had no windows and therefore no daylight. As someone who travels weekly, not having daylight to wake up to will play havoc with my ability to cope with jetlag. The staff were very kind and helpful in sorting out a different room. Overall all the staff I encountered in reception, the bar and restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful.

Staff is helpful and do store your luggage if you happen to come in early. Rooms are pretty small but clean and well maintained. Amenities are almost nothing but for a solo traveller, what else we need.

Disliked: Staff & service
We arrived and the they gave us two handicapped rooms. They told us it’s all they had available and my father in law ended up asking for another room because the toilet was too low for him to use. The eventually changed us to a king suite but they lied about the handicapped rooms being the only ones available especially when we’ve had this booked for a few months. It wasn’t super clean but it wasn’t too dirty. It just felt like a hotel for young kids. The parking is also far but the rooms were nice and had AC

Great hotel. I hope it’s not a recurring situation but I found it really annoying that we accept to opt out of cleaning services in order to have a coupon for food services and then there’s not enough employee to offer the food in question on the one night the coupon is usable...

Ultra modern compact hotel.

The rooms are small and ultra modern. They are clean and have everything you need. Honestly, it was a little tight for two people, but it would be perfect for a single. You could hear people in the hall, but it got quite around 9 pm.

Good and Bad.

Pro: This hotel is in a very good location. The rooms are nice a large and the beds and sofa beds are wonderful. It's very clean. Con: Privacy is non-existent to others in the room. The shower and toilet open into the room! If it's a couple, okay, but if you are sharing with grandchildren, not so much. No night tables.
