A few words. Spacious, very clean, modern, contemporary, chic, cool vibe.
Absolutely LOVE this hotel. A FAR cry from the hotels in Manhattan. What a difference in terms of space. The space, the decor, the vibe, the feeling of being welcome to a 'home' away from home. Reminds me of The Royal Sonesta in Houston which I absolutely love very much.
Greatly appreciate the spaciousness, twin beds, ample storage space for the luggage, a large and wide office table to work on & put everything. Large, functional bathroom. Lifts are fast and there aren't many floors. Large functional fitness centre with TRX. Only 'drawback' is the HVAC system, unable to just leave the fan blowing. The AC recycles ON OFF which can be a bit irritating, wish I had brought my personal fan! Small minor inconvenience, but the AC works well when it is ON.
Appreciated the fact that the 'great breakfast' includes $30/person to be spent at the French Bistro next door (the hotel does not have its own restaurant). But what a surprise. Great food, cool ambience, and friendly service by the head server (can't recall his name).
Made us feel at home. Thank you.

The room was spacious and the location was excellent. Valet parking was available. We arrived quite late, and my friends and I had booked separate rooms. The front desk went above and beyond to arrange connecting rooms for us, which was fantastic!

The hotel is quite good, with a five-star feel. The room is a little bit old, but it doesn't affect the stay. The hotel is very convenient, right next to the train station, and it's also easy to visit nearby attractions.

The hotel is very clean and well-equipped. Large rooms. However, the main thing I didn't like was that the garage is open until 6 pm and if you leave by car and arrive a little late, they won't let you into the parking lot. Because of this, we had to look for another garage far away. This was a big minus.

I had a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay with my family. The room was exceptionally clean, and I absolutely loved the bed and pillows they were incredibly fluffy and comfortable, which made resting a pleasure. The room was spacious. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would happily return in the future.
