Construction!

Construction throughout the property which was not disclosed. Service staff barged into occupied room without knocking. Dust, debris and noise were rampant throughout the property. Was still very expensive.

Perfect location with a very attentive staff. The rooms were large and well appointed. A minor issue is that they are undergoing a renovation which created a less attractive decor in areas but it was no impediment to enjoying my stay

Very comfortable hotel. Only complaint is that the room had only plastic cups for drinking and disposable paper cups for coffee - also very sparse toiletries, no shower cap, only 1 bar soap. For the price, they should have had glass cups, coffee mugs etc.
