Very modern hotel/apartment complex. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Electronic entry worked well. There a helpful reception (open mostly during the day but not 24/7). If coming by rental car dropping bags can be an issue. Expect narrow streets with no parking. But there is a great 24/7 parking garage 2 minutes walk away.
