A 5-star stay: clean, comfortable room with quality furniture, an inclusive stocked fridge, and a good varied buffet breakfast. Staff were helpful, but tram noise at night may bother light sleepers. Highly recommended overall.

Through no fault of the hotel, construction directly outside hotel was noisy and inconvenient. Hopefully this will be finished soon. Great location for getting around the city. The staff at the front desk was exceptional and we really enjoyed our waiter, Victor, in the dining room.
