The city view rooms, or at least the one I stayed in was very noisy. The traffic noise made it hard to sleep. For the price I had expected double glazed windows

Exceptional! Would happily stay again
Every aspect of our stay was exceptional. Staff were friendly and welcoming, to being informed of the complimentary buffet I wasn't aware was included, the spacious and well equipped room, comfortable bed, and easy valet service. Could not fault!

The staff were helpful and friendly. A lot to see and do within walking distance. Nice to park the car and not have to get into it until we were leaving. The dining room was very nice too

All good to great. Will always be back with them.
(P.S : My car got a fresh scratch during the valet return, and hence curious what happened. Was it the basement parking?)
