Great stay, reasonable price.
Pros:

Everything was great for my solo stay. 24hr check-in, nothing was too much trouble for the staff, room was modern clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Nothing much, but if I was to be ever so critical, would be the lack of a full restaurant and the ambiance in the hallways felt and sounded very industrial.

Great customer service
Pros:

Staff very accommodating. I couldn't get a park to check in but had a parking spot with my booking. Called front desk and pulled up to the gate and they let me in. After parking on site I then checked in. It was very helpful

Cons:

Another blanket would have been appreciated. Got a bit cool.
