Hotel met our needs. I thought we were going to have a balcony room, but it was literally just a door that opened to a 1/2 of a door-sized piece of glass& you were still standing inside your room. Breakfast and bar on rooftop balcony did make up for the shortfall. It was hard to tell the size of the rooms on-line, but they are pretty small.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is in a good location. Our room was small, very outdated, and incredibly uncomfortable. Beds seemed like hostel beds. Linens looked clean but smelled like they weren’t fresh. I do believe they were freshly washed, but maybe they are old and the smell couldn’t be washed out? Hallway had a horrible sour/chemical smell. Overall, very disappointed.

Location, location, location. Location of the hotel is good. Never saw the sauna as it wasn’t close to the pool. Staff was good except that the night clerk didn’t suggest the water bottles in the fridge. Hotel looked run-down.

The breakfast was horrible, food was cold. I did not recieve my VIP access. I left the sign on the door for the room to be cleaned. I had to call as the cleaners passed our room. Location is excellent though, and hotel is very clean. I also paid for parking and its a nightmear. You are not guarnteed a spot, so once you get one, dont leave it. We took bolt to the mall so we didnt loose our space. An added expense.
