Well located with friendly staff. Only issue was with the rooms temperature. It was at a constant 25 C with no way to control the temperature to cool it down only the window. We asked for and received a fan to use throughout.

Understaffed. A big group arrived while I was getting my room key. Had to raise my voice so people stopped barging in and get my keys.

No city views for City Twin sized rooms

The room was clean and comfortable. My b o ly complaint is that the city twin rooms do NOT have any view of the city and is misleading. What you do get is a view of the rear of buildings and parking lot which produces a lot of noise until midnight or so. There’s a huge generator noise that rubs most of the night. Light sleepers beware.
