Modern and comfortable hotel
Very nice modern hotel in a reasonably good location. Walkable to Imago Mall and a few dining options nearby including one up the spiral stair case in lobby (unfortunately the staff didnt tell us about this, so we found it after dinner, but still enjoyed a cocktail and dessert there after we found it ourselves). Rooms are modern and comfortable. Only downside is the road noise as we were on the road side of hotel, which overlooks a major highway and the sound proofing is minimal.
