“Do not be immediately put off by the building's exterior; inside, it is clean and well-maintained, with the advantage of thick walls that ensure a quiet stay. I think its ample event spaces, family-friendly amenities, and a rooftop restaurant elevate its appeal for both business and leisure travelers. It seems a practical choice, particularly with its proximity to the airport.”
