Summary: Disappointed in having to pay $30 to park at a hotel we paid good money to stay at and have to go get a ticket everytime we leave and come back. Friendly staff, very helpful. Ordered room service which was quite overpriced but the food was incredible. But then charging $7 for a tray fee ontop of an already expensive meal is ridiculous. Very simple facilities in the room. Beds were quite comfortable but not the cleanest bathroom. Probably wouldnt choose to stay here again.
J A Benson Sep 25, 2025 03:41:55 AM
Summary: The room was lovely, but I didn’t like the internal window. Lots of light but not really private unless you close the drapes.
JACQUELINE Sep 22, 2025 09:45:52 AM
Summary: Perfect location in the heart of town. Friendly and welcoming staff. The only inconvenience being 1 lift was broken down on the 23rd floor which meant long wait for 1 remaining lift.
