Smaller studio hotel room but great service, staff and modern facilities. Parking was easy to organise on site, in an open area parking lot. Breakfast included ， was basic but served buffet style, limited choices but baked beans were so tasty !!! Pool in the 8th floor is a lovely oasis away from the buzz. Gym is tiny but still available 24/7. Beds are comfy, shower has great pressure and able to control airflow in room, not too cold. Our room has general sound proofing on level 2.

The property was clean, staff were great, beds were comfortable, breakfast was great We really liked everything except the hotel facilities listed onsite parking available and the onsite parking was fully booked out so we had to park offsite which was a pain travelling with four kids under four and the two coffee sachets in room were rock hard.
