The key card failed multiple times (i'm not EVEN kidding). It took several attempts to get into my room each evening. the shower opened directly into the bedroom, a little odd. There was not even a screen.

Super Convenient and Clean!

ideal locationcomfortable bedcigarette smoke
The location proved ideal for a quick trip. I noticed it was super close to transport links, this made getting around easy. The room was very clean and the bed provided me with a comfortable night's sleep. I appreciated the desktop fan included because that helped maintain a cool temperature.
The hallways had a noticeable cigarette smoke smell, this was not great, even though I knew it's a non-smoking hotel. Other than this, the experience was top tier and I would come again.
