Great location. Cosy lobby bar. The buffet breakfast was more than adequate. The only negative is that the complementary guest parking at the rear of the hotel was very limited.

Great facilities and great buffet breakfast. Parking : strongly encouraged valet parking albeit expensive. When I checked in I was told that valet isn’t available and I will have to park on my own. But the valet himself said parking is available. No complaints but was a bit confusing Food in the room: there were cookies, water and other beverages in the room, available for a cost. We ended up eating a cookie, only to check later that best before date had long passed. There was expired food in the mini bar Breakfast: overall great. However if you arrive in the second half of the breakfast time, you may not get the vegan muffins, cut fruits. So be early to the breakfast Surrounding area: 2 out of the 3 nights I was there, there were loud noises in front of the hotel. First night, presumably drunk people stopping cars on the street, playing loud music on jukebox and in the car, doing rounds in front of the hotel. Second night, some kind of bike racing and people cheering. Bikes were doing multiple rounds in front of the hotel. Was hard to sleep on both the nights. Facilities: great facilities
