I've stayed here numerous times over the years and it never disappoints. The common areas are so comfortable and spacious, while the beds offer plenty of privacy and the thick walls & doors shut out noise - I have never had a bad night of sleep here. Many thanks to the reception staff on the morning of my arrival and later at check-in - I really benefited from that extra half hour ! Look forward to my next stay.

Stayed here for a few nights and had a great experience overall. The common area was lively and welcoming, and the bathrooms were very clean. Staff were super helpful—I accidentally badged out once and they quickly gave me a spare key card with no fuss. My room was a bit noisy since it faced the street, but that’s to be expected given the location. Would stay again.
