the room was ready early, that was nice.
the bathroom floor was pretty filthy. i think the cleaning crew missed that part, there was dust and it looked like it needed scrubbing. the shower head sprayed water weird, i had to do a whole dance to get wet. i also thought the mini bar was sad, it had water and milk and that's it.

Excellent Location and Service

The front desk staff were very helpful at check-in. They even arranged a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate a special occasion. The room was spacious and ideally located for attending a nearby show. Public transport options, including light rail, were conveniently accessible.
The air conditioning unit was quite noisy, made sleeping somewhat difficult.

The buffet breakfast provided a wide variety of options. The proximity to the central business district shops made it convenient. I found access to a tennis court an unexpected amenity. (I quite enjoy tennis!).
I found cleaning of the room was not consistent. This meant sometimes it occurred late in the afternoon. The wifi requiring frequent logins was somewhat annoying.
