De ansatte gjorde oppholde helt magisk dem var behelpeli med alt man lurte på å ordnet ting så og si med engang. Var jordskjelv å dama ble stressa men roa seg ned etter samtale med en av de ansatte på hotelet, dem sier dem pusser det enne tårne så detvhar ikke nett men da kan man forespøre et egen nett boks

24 hour stay for family business and this hotel fit my needs. Would stay here again.
Pros:

The value for the rooms were great. The breakfast in the morning was good, as well and how clean the rooms were was nice. The front desk and bell staff were very accommodating. Also, you cannot beat the location. I might add that the hallway to our room in Tower 2 was like walking through an art gallery, which was nice.

Cons:

The hotel itself was on the older side and you can tell some floors needed some work done to it. The toilet in my room had a small leak to it, but nothing worth calling front desk about.
