Superbly located, modern hotel near the university, excellent restaurants and sights. The bed was quite comfortable, and the (air-conditioned!) room was nicely designed and appointed. There is a nice lounge with morning coffee downstairs and a small, but decently equipped and maintained workout room on the first floor. Staff were unusually nice to work with and helpful. Excellent four-day stay.

Hotel is well situated and has a good breakfast. The Air conditioner was very noisy, switched rooms and the noise dropped by 10dB but still noisy enough that couldn’t sleep without noise cancelling EarPods. The carpets are dirty/stained in the hallways and stains in the rooms too. Positive is the location.
