The room was great! Everything was clean and there are lots of neat amenities like a nightlight in the bathroom and a magnifier mirror by the bathroom sink. Staff were great and we were given complimentary access to the guest lounge on the 20th floor, which provided soft drinks in the evening and a hot breakfast in the morning.

You booked me in a hotel that was under construction below the 15th floor. I had no idea until we got there. Construction was heard at night. It was not a great experience to say the least
