Okay stay, a few downsides.
spacious suitemany breakfast optionscentral locationunwelcoming receptionistmissed room servicepoor toiletries
We received an upgrade to a junior suite. It was very spacious. The breakfast had many options available. The location is very central with access to restaurants.
The check-in receptionist was dour and unwelcoming. Our room was not serviced on one day of our stay. Toiletries in the bathroom were subpar with poor quality.

The location was good and I found the staff helpful.
The bathroom felt quite dated. There were significant drainage issues. I think the price I paid was too high considering the room size and these issues.

The breakfast was GOOD. Free paper and a bottle of water were nice touches.
The room was highly overpriced and overrated. I think this hotel deserves only 3 stars. There was NO hairdryer or iron in the room.
