I found the check-in process easy. I managed to check in a little early, it was very nice. The breakfast had a great variety. The coffee was excellent and made by a barista which is a very nice touch.

The shower pressure was poor. Car parking wasn't the greatest, spaces were limited. They still charged $33 a day. I would expect to have my own parking when paying $33 extra a day, so I wasn't thrilled about that.
