Firstly the staff were friendly however the issues we had there was probably not alot they could do, the outlook from our room on 7th floor was like a dump, also being on the 7th floor meant that everytime a lift arrived from 36 floors down was so full noone could get in even after waiting 30 minutes. We asked to be moved to a higher floor at check-in but were declined. The decor was so out-dated like an 80's motel and the facilities were like a hostel. The chairs in the buffet breakfast room were dirty, stained and some broken. We were very disappointed.

Not good for family with young kids. Waiting time for check in is too long. Pay extra for parking is a downfall and parking is limited and tight as we have a big people mover. Lifts take forever to come and take too long to get to your room. Place is not worth the money per night.
