Was great. Quiet. Great central location to trains and shops.
Great location, close to everything. I got the family group with 6 beds and 2 bathrooms. The interior looked like it just got renovated, very clean and nice. The exterior like the hallway and the lobby need an upgrade. The food court in the basement was a plus, so many choices and everything was delicious,such as the fluffy pancakes (no need to get on long lines at other places). Definitely would stay here again.
Very convenient location, clean, nice amenities, and enough space in the room. I hope to visit again!

It is super convenient across from the station and easily seen from a distance. The room was fine and clean. The elevators smelt a little musty which I was taken aback by, but the rest of the hotel, including my room smelled fine.
Convenient location and decent size rooms compared to other hotels. Cleaning service was available daily which meant the room were clean when we were back in the evening.
