the location suited me well. it was a quick walk to the 3arena for a concert. the hotel bar called ryleighs is fine. the food there is delicious as well.
The room was a bit small with snacks i needed to pay for, they were everywhere. the fridge had many expensive items. I could not store my own things. it seemed a bit much given the room cost.
