Do not recommend
Pros:

Location Was good to get access to everywhere in the city but terrible with the construction site beside it

Cons:

I didn't like the amount of money I had to pay for a place where I had to listen to construction site the whole night and all day and was not notified about it before booking or during booking or after booking. It was very disappointed, I was even more disappointed with the reception desk the next morning from the arrogant dude who I asked to hand my key in and I got a grunt a grown and just leave it there, then he proceeded to walk away.

Pros:

Check-in with a concierge, not a remote key collection like so many properties are doing now.
The lifts are great, not number selection needed, just scam the fob and it selects your room level (or you can manually choose a parking level)

Cons:

Parking was $49 per day (but easy to access)
