    "The hotel is modern, clean, and has a great gym and restaurant. We found the room to be spacious and tidy, however, the wall behind the bed (where the large image is) was extremely dusty, and I actually cleaned it myself due to the sneezing and irritation from the dust. Otherwise, it was a great stay and location!"
