"Great location in proximity to the Exhibition centre at which I was attending a conference. Walking distance to everything you might need for a short stay. The breakfast was lovely, the coffee was good and a room service meal for dinner was divine. Very well appointed apartment. My only criticism is that the grout between the tiles in the shower could do with a really good scrub. The staff were all lovely and accommodating."
