Hotel very modern, centrally located, close to many great bars and restaurants. Reception was well manned and happy friendly staff welcomed me on my arrival. Lift to my fifth floor room was securitly controlled by room key. Lovely well decorated room with great shower and views of surounding Christmas decorated streets. A tasty buffet breakfast was taken every day of my stay and the bar provided me with delicious drinks after a busy day. I would like to thank the management and staff for running a great ship. I will definately be coming back.

Music

The services were excellent. However the trance music in the common areas was way too loud, impeding even normal conversation. I would expect a hotel dedicated to old Hollywood would play big band and jazz music. just saying.
