There were lot of noise early in the morning around 5 am, I think staff was setting up breakfast at the common area. It was super noisy and inconvenient to sleep.

Very pleasant stay. Great staff and room was clean and modern. Breakfast was healthy and pleasant. Fantastic coffee ( Nespresso at the lobby). Ask for a room away from the kitchen area as they were preparing breakfast items at 5.30/ 6 am and it was so noisy. Over all a very positive experience!

Clean and comfortable in a great area. Excellent. Little breakfast. My only criticism is that I want a real door on the bathroom. I cannot imagine why architects think it's cool to put Windows and partial doors in front of toilets.
