Detained by weather/flight cancellations, The Study was the perfect respite from the airport
Pros:

The decor and relaxing vibe, the hotel location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For my mattress, it could have been firmer.

hotel comodo, clima familiare e ben curato!
Pros:

Una bella struttura, personale cordiale e preparato. Le camere sono davvero ampie e ben curate. La posizione è davvero strategica vicino a piu fermate della metro, presenza di tanti street food in zona e supermercati come Giant e 7 eleven. Mi sono trovato davvero bene. Buona anche la zona fitness ben attrezzata

Wygodny hotel z dobrym dojazdem do centrum w dobrej cenie
Pros:

Pokój czysty, dość duży, ale jak na 4 osoby mógłby być trochę większy. Łóżka wygodne, szerokie. Jeśli chcecie mieć choć trochę widoku na miasto, poproście o pokój od strony miasta na 10 piętrze! Bardzo przyjemna restauracja hotelowa, typowe amerykańskie pozycje śniadaniowe, ale wysoka jakość produktów i przygotowania. Personel uprzejmy i pomocny. Dobra, bezpłatna kawa w lobby do 10.00 am. Dojazd do centrum bardzo dobry, tuż przy hotelu kolejka miejska (trolley) i autobus, metro o 1 przecznicę.
