The hotel provided a pretty clean and comfortable stay with fast and reliable free wifi. While the service was friendly and accommodating, there were issues with reservation cancellation. The location was high and bustling with businesses, although accessing the subway required extra effort. The dining experience was excellent, offering one of the best complimentary breakfasts, but lacked seafood options. Overall, a value-for-money choice with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel was spot on with its downtown location, allowing us to walk to all the great places to eat. The rooms were perfect in size, quiet, and very clean, although a kettle would have been nice for warm water. The service was extremely helpful and engaging, always putting a smile on our faces. However, the inability to issue an invoice with correct data was a bit of a letdown. The dining experience offered a great selection of food, with the highlight being the pancake-making machine for a quick treat. Overall, the hotel provided a great stay with some minor inconveniences.
