fantastic choice friendly staff great room card machine frustrated customers room bill
the breakfast had a fantastic choice. it included additional purposely cooked items like eggs benedict. staff were very friendly and helpful. the room size was great with everything i needed.
the card machine was not working in the bar, so it was cash only. the duty manager just walked away, claiming there was nothing he could do. they refused to add drinks to a room bill.

Convenient Stay Near the Arena

short walk direct access substantial breakfast
The hotel is very close to the arena. It is a short walk. I parked on level 10 of the car park, it provided direct access to the hotel. The breakfast was substantial (I was particularly impressed with the range of options).
The gym could use some new equipment.

Admirable Hotel Experience

convenient location really good friendliness amazing service
I discovered the hotel's proximity to the central station particularly convenient. The short walk made transportation seamless. The staff exhibited really good friendliness and provided significant assistance throughout my stay. Radina at reception and Elena during breakfast demonstrated amazing service and attentiveness.
I observed that the window in my room could not be opened. Housekeeping used air freshener. The fragrance lingered for the duration of my visit. This impacted air quality in a negative way.
Rooms
9/10
The room featured blackout curtains that were very effective. A very large television was provided. The walk-in shower contributed to a great sense of comfort and convenience .
