The hotel in a great location, right in the town center. Easy walk to places and to the beautiful city garden. The hotel is pretty new. We had a suite that easily slept three people (with two bathrooms!). Very clean and spacious. We were there on the NYE, unfortunately the rooftop restaurant was closed for the holiday (was one of the reason I chose to go to this hotel to hope to see the firework), but the city canceled the fireworks anyway. They offered the breakfast at another hotel because the restaurant was closed. It was fine. Excellent front desk service. People were friendly and helpful. We had a great stay. Parking was a pain because it is not onsite, it is about a block away.

Had a fantastic stay and cannot fault anything. Probably the cleanest hotel I've stayed in, and very quiet given its busy central location. Firm, comfortable bed, spacious room, great shower. The rooftop bar and restaurant is a lovely space. Warm and friendly staff. Quality fittings - as a single traveller I felt very secure behind that hefty, stylish fire-proof bedroom door!
