We have stayed here a few times now as a family and have always been very impressed with the service and facilities. We included our stay with the breakfast which is always worth the extra. Staff and valets are always nice and helpful. The rooms could use a little more polish on the fixtures and fittings but doesn't detract overall. Recommend for families and will visit again.

The staff where very nice and helpful with any questions we had. Just the rooms need to have handsoap in the bathrooms as there was none and had to buy or own. The handle in the sink needs to be longer as when you wash your hands it touches the basin. Shower pressure was really good. Other wise a good stay. Would recommend to all.

The room was very modern, with all kinds of climate friendly touches. The thermostat was easy to use and control and the a/c was absolutely silent. I loved the option of sitting on the king size bed, at the work desk, or in a comfortable lounge chair. Our room overlooked the beautiful riverwalk area, modern office buildings, and the hotel pool below. There was a little noise from the pool, but it was worth it for the views.
