Enjoyed our stay
Justin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was clean and stylish. We loved having a balcony. However, we anticipated better views of the city. Our room was too far from the main hotel and amenities so we never felt comfortable going to the gym, sauna, pool or hot tub because of the long walk outside in the cold, wet conditions. Wish we were closer to that - we would have been more inclined to use them. Also, the listing on Hotels.com indicates that there are laundry facilities. However, that is misleading. There are only laundry services and no explanation about how much or the times for same-day service. Overall, the general location of the hotel is great. The room was comfortable and spacious. The housekeeper was excellent and provided us with a total daily refresh. Enjoyed ourselves overall.
