Nice hotel but loud!
Nice hotel and great location. But the walls are very very thin and it was hard to sleep at night between hearing the neighbors talking and the garbage truck from outside even when we were on the 22nd floor. I’m not sure if I would stay here again because I’m a light sleeper and did not sleep well.

Prestations à revoir.
Les lits sont trop petits et ne correspondent pas au descriptif de l’annonce. Sinon l’hôtel est bien placé, la taille des chambres est correcte. Le petit déjeuner est simple mais efficace. Les frais relatif au stationnement des véhicules avec l’hôtel sont trop élevés, Nous avons trouvé un parking en sous-sol à 5 minutes à pied de l’hôtel et avons économisé plus du double du tarif de l’hôtel.
