Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Clean, simple and very modern hotel. Great location especially for the metro. The building lacks a little in personality, however staff helpful and polite. Easy to use coffee machine, good shower and room spacious.
Parking a little awkward but walking distance to more attractions than there is time for in a short stay. Staff are efficient, knowledgeable, and very kind.
