Good sized room and efficient check-in. We stayed a night and did not eat there but it seemed a good “chain” sort of hotel - well run, clean and modern.

No issues with after hours check-in and the staff was super friendly when I called to request the late check-in. Very clean room, Nespresso coffee machine with complimentary pods, tea, instant coffee, and everything you really need for short stay. Off-site parking available as well.
