We have stayed at this hotel quite a few times and book a king room. Still got the king bed but the room seemed a bit smaller.

The property is ok, but provides little by way of facilities. The lobby bar on level 5 advertises it is open until 10pm, but on both evenings I arrived back prior to this and it was closed. It is an old style, typical business hotel - convenient location but bland.
