the staff were helpful. check-in was easy, and late check-out allowed me to attend my morning meeting. the internet speed was excellent, and the room was spacious. i found comfortable seating areas downstairs and enjoyed the breakfasts and a snack at the bar.

the parking situation is not favorable. i observed people parked across multiple bays, and the spaces seem tiny. parking is limited, complicated if you aren't confident when parking.

the included breakfast was okay, i found something to eat.

The room was far too small, i struggled to move around the bed. there was also some noise at 5am. It sounded like a call to prayer and was quite loud. i do not expect to be woken up so early after paying for a night.
