Staff were great but this hotel needs some remediation The floors creak in the rooms and our first room, we were awoken to the folks upstairs talking quietly in bed and getting up to use the toilet with the creaky floors. We changed rooms and it helped a bit. The elevator didn't work and we were dragging our suitcases up four flights of steps, as well as our tired bodies after a full day of walking.

Excellent place to stay. We cannot fault this property! Exceptional communication, with instructions sent via email two days before our arrival with photos of where to go and where the keys were going to be. We stayed in apt 27. The property has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The entire place was sparkling clean. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need to cook any meal during your stay. The washing machine was super handy since we’re are travelling with kids. Parking was easy and so convenient The property is a quick stroll from the city centre We’d definitely stay again in a heartbeat
