Spent Christmas here and it was fantastic! the breakfast was delicious with an amazing variety of foods offered. the room was impeccably clean and the location was great, close to main attractions and transportation. the staff were polite and helpful, always greeting us with a smile and providing excellent service. Plus, the complimentary Christmas dinner was an unexpected and enjoyable surprise!

The noise level from the street outside was a bit loud at times, but nothing that affected our sleep. the gym facilities were a bit outdated and could use some improvements, but it did the job for a quick workout.
