Wow. This was such a good experience I had to leave a review. The staff are very friendly, it's a great location. The room has a nice view. Oeb restaurant is just outside. There's chrome cast on the tv. Really good coffee in the room and a remote for the blinds. Will definitely be staying again!

One night away.
A night away from hustle and bustle of Christmas. It was a very comfortable stay. Staff were great, room and bed were cozy. No complaints. Pay for parking underground it’s worth it, otherwise parking is on the street and you walk.
