    Overall it was a nice size with extra comfortable bed. I really enjoyed that they had climate control, iron/ironing board, and a coffee/tea maker. The venue was in a central location really close to restaurants and shopping, value for money and great restaurants, bars.

    good stay but needs better room upkeep

    The staff shine with their friendliness and willingness to assist. The comfortable bed, great to recharge after busy days.

    It was very quiet in the hotel. Although we could hear the fire truck and ambulance siren every night, probably unavoidable in a dense city setting. The front desk staff was very professional and the hotel itself was quite clean. We really enjoyed the location of the hotel, within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to see.

    The location was peaceful and handy, for example, London Guarantee Building was not very far from the hotel. It was located in a fairly nice area close enough to the main streets as well as great restaurants and shopping center. We stayed in a brand-new deluxe king room with the drinks and a hot tub and great view.

    fine city view

    The indoor pool on the 17th floor was sparkling and perfect for a quick dip after a long day. The city view from the room was fine and spacious, a highlight of our stay!
