Nice stay in nice location
The room was very modern but kind of cramp. Kinda wish the room was a little wider and the sink was inside where the toilet and shower were, especially with hardwood floors. Water pressure was good. They have a cool, chill bar you can relax at and a pretty good breakfast buffet. Pretty descent for the price. Staff was friendly.

Perfect hotel for a solo traveller
I loved this hotel. The rooms are small but have everything you need. I appreciated the tech features (i.e. being able to control everything from an iPad). Bed was super comfy. The duvet was so fluffy and the pillows were perfect. The only thing I was missing was coffee in the room but they did offer complimentary coffee down in the lobby so that was not a big issue. As a solo traveller this place was perfect for me.
