Comfortable but needs tweaking
Pros:

Cleanliness of the hotel

Cons:

There is no free parking on site and it is difficult to find street parking and then you have to pay $50 for valet parking or in a carpark for $20 that’s a 10 min walk away from your hotel? How inconvenient.

The staff wasn’t the friendliest and cheeriest upon checking in either and there was no microwave in the room to heat up my food. So I was inclined to order food because of this.

Great location, modern interiors with a super comfy bed
Pros:

Great location, super comfy bed and very modern interiors.

Cons:

The smoke alarm and something else on the roof flashed all night, and there was a light on the air conditioning panel that would come on, stay on for a little while then go off and again this happened all night. It was quite bright when we had the curtains pulled. It woke me up a few times which was disappointing as the bed was so comfy I thought I would have an amazing nights sleep . My husband mentioned it to the lady who we checked out with but she wasn’t interested.
