I hosted a travel group. And I will never ever stay there again!
Pros:

They had a parking garage

Cons:

The staff was condescending at the front desk. They were definitely catering to a younger vibe. The bar was a joke. Was it a restaurant or was it a bar? The entire place was cold and uninviting. The good Vibe shampoo was the only thing that tried to promote good vibes. The staff was unprofessional and their dress was sloppy. They tried but I think the ultimate issue is poor management and lack of training. Was nothing more than an upgraded Hotel eight. Without the upgrade.

Disappointing
Pros:

Located In the city center. Room was clean bed was comfy. Housekeeping is good.

Cons:

For value of money the car park should be available for residents and residents only. Paying 400 for two nights and being told that we couldn’t use the car park as it was full and to use another car park nearby which we had to pay on top of that was false advertising on the hotel’s description of free parking. I could not justify value for money to what was gotten.

Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful. Took not only our bags when we arrived a few hours before checkin, but also a cake and bottle of champagne that needed to be refrigerated.
Rooms are immense and clean and bright. AC was quiet and worked perfectly.

Cons:

Unfortuately the lovely view of the river was marred by the pollution. Not much they can do about that.
