Pros:

We were on floor 6 and had a large corner window with a view towards the stadium. Location is great just an 8 minute walk to Riverside.

Cons:

We were fine but there is a restaurant and a bar a floor above which was quite noisy so if you are a light sleeper perhaps request a lower room.

Pros:

Location was perfect for both work and lesisure

Cons:

The noise, we are not sure what it is, sounds like the toilets being flushed from the room above or it could be the air conditioning unit as the sound was coming from it. Might be worth checking it out, as it went through the night.

Great location - but no parking…
Pros:

The location couldn’t be better! Just the overall aesthetic and amenities were appreciated!

Cons:

The beds were a little uncomfortable (two beds pushed together to make a king), and at times the customer service could’ve been better. We had also originally asked about parking and informed that they had parking available, to only be told this is no longer the case when we arrived.
