Without internet service finding the actual property from the airport transfer was difficult. After calling the person I talked to realized I was frustrated and actually walked to find us and guide us to the hotel. I was very impressed with her take charge step and assistance. The concierge was also very helpful in getting a taxi for one of our activities.

Great location and comfy beds. Prompt responses to my questions all the time. Not a deal breaker but bathroom has a small sink that’s not well positioned. Would prefer a way to contain water from shower away from toilet. Would stay again despite these drawbacks.

Great hotel in the heart of the city
The rooms were great but finding the place was very difficult. The hotel is 5 different buildings in a 5 block radius. It was difficult to find reception in the dark, freezing rain. Better directions are needed. After check in though everything was perfect. Parking is difficult
