My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were excellent and given the location, reasonably priced. The service was outstanding, with friendly and helpful staff. The central location made exploring the city a breeze, although the breakfast options were lacking. Overall, a great value for money choice.

The central location of the hotel was perfect for exploring the city and accessing public transport. With reciprocal club privileges, I received a special lodging rate that made it surprisingly reasonable for the desirable central neighborhood.

My stay at the hotel was quite good overall. The rooms were on the cozier side but still comfortable, and I appreciated getting 2 king beds as requested. Unfortunately, I couldn't adjust the room temperature, and the noise from the loading area with beeping trucks early in the morning was a bit bothersome.

The rooms were a bit on the smaller side, but the 2 king beds were a nice touch.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Despite a lovely and quiet room, some aspects were disappointing. The location was ideal for business, but the dining options fell short. The friendly service made up for some shortcomings.
Rooms

My room was lovely and surprisingly quiet despite the busy location. However, it looked a bit worn when I arrived early for breakfast. I found some unexpected trash behind furniture, but the room had useful amenities like an iron and hairdryer.
Service
8.0
The service was friendly, and the staff quickly resolved any issues. They genuinely care about guest satisfaction, though there were minor incidents like housekeeping using the guest's room to charge phones.
Location
9.0
The hotel's location was perfect for my business needs, close to my workplace and surrounded by entertainment and dining options. I could easily explore the city center from here.
Dining
5.0
The dining experience was simple and self-service, which felt a bit too minimalist for my taste. The offerings, like oatmeal, lacked variety, and the atmosphere in the Black Cat bar lounge was unimpressive.
Facilities
The hotel offered basic facilities, and I wish there were more dining options available. However, the amenities provided were satisfactory for my short stay.
