helpful staff various options small bathroom early noise
The staff helped me with my bags. I saw a doorman that was very kind. The breakfast provided a great start to the day with various options! The location has close proximity to many restaurants.
The bathroom felt small. I had a hard time with the shower placement. The hallways echoed sounds, and I could hear other guests. The housekeeping started early in the morning, and there was a lot of noise.

dusty corner expired item
the location had easy access to transport links, the area was safe to walk around at night.
the housekeeping was not up to par, dust was visible in corners of the room and under furniture and the shower drainage was slow, water pooled during showers. furthermore, the mini bar restock was inconsistent, items were missing and some were expired. i expected the service to be much better for the price i payed.
