Good: Clean room, very nice gym, and amazing location. A good amount of cafe and restaurants within walking distance (max 30 minutes), and it was short drive to everywhere else we wanted to go. Fast wifi as well. The room was also big enough where we had enough space for everything. Down: on our first night, the lights went out for like 1 minutes twice, the staff came to look and said nothing is wrong. Although it didn't happen again, I was a little concerned each day, since one of the times it went out, I was in the shower. And another down side (not so much enough) is just the TV options are pretty limited, I thought it would be a smart TV, but it was just channels, and most of the channerls were sports.

Lights in the room only worked half of the time, several points during our stay our bathroom sink would fill up with filthy water and then drain again. The front desk staff were pretty rude, valet was OK. Was overpriced for the overall quality of the hotel.
