Fantastic amenities and strategic location

The gym was a real highlight. It had a wide range of equipment (including several cardio machines). I found the pool area particularly clean and spacious. Breakfast offered many choices, including fresh pastries and a hot food station. The hotel also provided complimentary water and tea in the room.
The hallway could be a little noisy at times, with doors closing, but it did not affect my sleep too much.
